3. Helper Robots for People with Disabilities A helper robot works with/alongside humans. Helps you with day-to-day tasks, making your life easier.

4. Assistive device for eating Kinova Robotics's Jaco arm has been developed as an assistive arm for people who are confined to a wheelchair. The arm comes well equipped with a three-fingered gripper and six degrees of freedom and can be attached to an electric wheelchair with ease.

5. Robotic Trousers While the robotic pants might seem like brightly colored Lycra, the reality is way different than what meets the eye. The pants are equipped with robotic muscles and air bubbles, which can help a person stand up. The robotic pants make use of nanoparticle science, along with functional 3-D printing and artificial muscle technology. The idea is to replicate the human muscle and provide the same strength and support to the disabled, thereby enabling them to stand up comfortably.

6. Robots assisting students with disabilities Social robots, which are made to interact with humans, can help teach social and educational skills to students of all abilities, including those with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, hearing impairments, Down syndrome and autism.
