Rehabilitation robotics ontology on the cloud

2013 IEEE 13th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR), 2013
We introduce the first formal rehabilitation robotics ontology, called RehabRobo-Onto, to represent information about rehabilitation robots and their properties; and a software system RehabRobo-Query to facilitate access to this ontology. RehabRobo-Query is made available on the cloud, utilizing Amazon Web services, so that 1) rehabilitation robot ...
