Abstract EN
Many assistive robots for elderly and disabled people have been developed in the past few decades.
However, very few of them became commercially available.
The major cause of the problem is that the cost-benefit ratio and the risk-benefit ratio of them are not good or not known.
The evaluation of them should be done in the light of the impacts of assistive technologies on users’ whole life, both in short-term and long-term.
In this paper, we propose a framework of evaluation and design of assistive robots using ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health).
The goal of the framework is the realization of the life design and the improvement of the quality of life using assistive technologies.
We describe the concept of utilizing ICF in the development process of assistive robots, and demonstrate its utility by using some examples of practical application such as the analysis of daily living, the design of assistive robots and the evaluation of assistive robots.
We also show the issues of using ICF for further development of the framework.
