An articulated rehabilitation robot for upper limb physiotherapy and training
2010 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2010The objective of this study is to design a robot system to assist the rehabilitation of patients so that they can afterwards do various daily activities. It is difficult to determine the desirable posture of a 9-DOFs exoskeleton manipulator in such a system and each joint control design as well. In this paper, we resolve the difficulties by mapping the

Towards Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation of Upper Limb Dysfunction
2015This paper proposes a robot design which combines an unobtrusive presence around the household with a patient rehabilitation tool. The robot is envisaged to spend most of its time in standby mode, springing into action at pre-set times in order to engage the patient into taking a rehabilitation program.
