URNights - Night Assistant, by URATech 

URNights enables you to call for assistance in seconds. 

URNights can be controlled by either and/or a combination of

• Gaze, 

• Blinking,

• Head motion,

• Facial gestures. 

URNights, smart night assistance system continuously monitors and analyses your facial muscles and eye movements via a specialised camera. URNights works even in the dark. 

URNights uses state-of-the-art machine learning and AI algorithms locally in the camera and the attached computer. To protect users' privacy, all data processing is performed locally using edge computing technologies; no data is transmitted to the cloud.  

URAComm - Assistive Communication Board by URATech 

URAComm is a smart communication board system that continuously monitors and analyses your facial muscles and eye movements via a specialized camera.

URAComm system uses state-of-the-art machine learning and AI algorithms locally in the camera and the attached computer. Using edge computing technologies, all processing is performed locally. For ultimate privacy, users' data is NOT transmitted to the cloud. 

URAComm can be controlled by either and/or a combination of

• Gaze, 

• Blinking,

• Head motion,

• Facial gestures. 

URATech's dedicated engineers or your local URATech representatives can advise the best URAComm configuration for your personal needs. 

URVHeadCtrl - Your Vision-Based Head-Controlled Mouse 

Unfortunately, Severe Speech and Motor Impairment (SSMI) from conditions such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), and other similar genetic or Motor Neuron Disorders (MND) can prohibit individuals from effectively using a mouse and keyboard, locking them out of technology. While various tools are available to help with access, computer control methods that rely on a single input form are frequently ineffective or short-lived as symptoms change.

URHeadCtrl has been developed as an additional control modality to make it broadly accessible as a long-lasting computer access system for people with degenerative conditions.

URHeadCtrl uses a camera cutting-edge Computer Vision (CV), Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques. It continuously monitors the user's head, eyes, blinking, and facial gestures and controls the mouse and keyboard of a computer based on the user's head motions.  

The KOBE Robot - An Autonomous Mobile Robotic Platform for Paediatric Respiratory Ventilation Assistance by URATech. 

The KOBE (Keep One Breathing Everywhere) is a novel tethered ventilator-carrying robot developed to empower paediatric patients requiring round-the-clock mechanical ventilator support for breathing. The robot employs person-following algorithms, integrating inputs from obstacle detection sensors and a purpose-built tether sensor. 

The tether sensor plays multiple roles, pivotal for the person-following functionality. It provides critical data on the robot's relative state w.r.t. the child. It also imparts the child a sense of security and companionship by simulating a connection to a leashed pet. 

The development of the robot underwent rigorous design processes, and its performance was extensively tested across various indoor and outdoor environments, encompassing diverse obstacles in real-life scenarios. 

The outcomes of these tests underscore the robot's potential to significantly enhance the quality of life for paediatric patients, necessitating continuous ventilation support. The evaluation results validate the robot's effectiveness and advocate for further exploration of innovative solutions to support daily activities among this demographic. 

URArm - Upper-Limb Orthotic Exoskeleton for Telerehabilitation with Multimodal-User Interface by URATech 

Loss of mobility on the upper extremities, such as paralysis, hemiparesis, or long-term muscle weakness, can result from various neuromuscular or neurological diseases, stroke or accidents. Patients with these conditions may partially or fully lose control of their upper extremities. 

Traditional therapy methods may not restore the lost functions. However, it has been shown that Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation Therapy (RART) can improve the outcome of rehabilitation efforts. Furthermore, robotic orthotic exoskeletons can partially replace some of the lost functions and positively affect patients' Activities of Daily Living (ADL). 

Toward this goal, URATech presents URArm. It is an upper-limb orthotic exoskeleton. URArm has a multimodal Human-Machine Interface (HMI) and can be controlled either by a rehabilitation therapist locally or remotely for telerehabilitation sessions or by the user's Surface Electromyography (sEMG) signals.
