Descripción del proyecto
Inteligencia artificial para ayudar a pacientes con prótesis
Millones de personas de todo el mundo tienen capacidades motoras deterioradas a consecuencia de accidentes cerebrovasculares, cirugía de tumores encefálicos o accidentes. En la mayoría de los casos, la única opción son las prótesis y los dispositivos de asistencia. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos MAIA da un paso más allá con el diseño de una inteligencia artificial (IA) centrada en el ser humano para controlar las prótesis y los dispositivos de asistencia al conectarse a los brazos robóticos, las sillas de ruedas y los exoesqueletos. La tecnología de MAIA será interactiva, lo que promoverá la confrontación entre la decisión de IA, la intención del usuario y las necesidades reales. Se identificará una comunicación natural y rápida, así como nuevas formas de combinaciones de datos neuronales y conductuales, de manera que se irá más allá de los métodos de procesamiento de datos actuales. Estos principios serán la idea central alrededor de la que se desarrollará el ecosistema de MAIA, que sentará las bases para una IA biomédica centrada en el ser humano.
Objetivo
What if in a near future Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes human-centric, focusing on human needs and build trustworthiness by mutual understanding? Today, millions of people worldwide suffer from deteriorated motor abilities, due to stroke, brain tumor surgery or accident. This represents a serious society challenge with missing adequate technological response. Patients need assistive devices that are trustworthy, multifunctional, adaptive and interactive, i.e. intelligent, unlike current neuroprosthetics that replace single motor impairments.
MAIA proposes a paradigm shift where human-centric AI will control prosthetic and assistive devices. We will investigate and resolve critical steps towards the rapid development of such human-centric control: a radically novel intention decoder, a novel concept for trustworthy human-AI interactions, and a new type of database for acquired information from multiple sources.
MAIA AI technology will decode human intentions and communicate the decoded targets to assistive devices and to the users, to ensure compliance and develop trust through natural interaction and mutual learning. The technological outcome will be a multifunctional human-centric AI controller at TRL4 with embedded trustworthy characteristics, suitable to be integrated in robotic arms, wheelchair and exoskeletons.
To reach this, MAIA will investigate the principles underlying natural, fast and lean communication and new forms of combinations of neural and behavioural data beyond current data processing. MAIA’s approach will be guided by real needs of end users (patients and caregivers) through their direct involvement in the research program, and by all current knowledge from neuro-, cognitive, and social science research.
The application domains of MAIA’s new paradigm span from healthcare to industry, and space exploration. We will also establish a European innovation ecosystem beyond the research labs that will stimulate highly innovative enterprises.
