Summary:

This book constitutes a carefully arranged selection of revised papers on assistive technology, first presented at related AAAI workshops between 1995 and 1998. The book is devoted to the advancement and use of AI stimulated technology that can help users extend their current range of cognitive and sensory abilities or overcome their motor disabilities. Among various issues in the interdisciplinary area of assistive technology, the papers address topics from natural language processing, planning, robotics, user interface design, computer vision, and learning.
