Integration of Artificial Intelligence in Assistive Robots: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

Assistive robots are increasingly becoming an essential component in providing support to people with disabilities and elderly individuals. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) enhances their capability to interact naturally with humans, understand context, and provide adaptive assistance. This article discusses current AI applications in assistive robotics, technical and ethical challenges, and opportunities for future development. The study also includes an overview of experimental mobile robotic platforms with manipulator capabilities.
