Abstract
This preliminary study investigates the performance and cognitive loading of the two commercial wheelchair-mounted assistive robotic manipulators (ARMs) with their original user interfaces (UIs). This study of 20 able-bodied individuals evaluated the performance of two user interfaces, keypad and joystick, using six tasks on an activities of daily living (ADL) task board with environment-independent measures, self-reported cognitive loading and questionnaires. Participants performed tasks with two commercial arms with their original UIs in a randomized order of arm and the six tasks on the adl task board. Performance was evaluated using completion time, throughput, and trajectory parameters. Self-reported measures of workload and questionnaires were also administered. Statistical performance differences were found in the translational tasks (p
