Assistive technologies are fundamental to improve the recovery and quality of life of
individuals impaired by temporary or long-term disabilities. In that sense, rehabili-tation …

This paper introduces a simple and minimal admittance controller capable of rendering
small impedances. The proposed controller ensures stable human-robot interactions by …

There are two fundamental and dominant control methods widely used in haptic controller
design. First, is impedance control when user motion input is measured and the reaction …

There are two popular control methods widely used in haptic controller design. First, is
impedance control–the operator motion input is measured, and then, the reaction force is fed …

This paper demonstrates a haptic device for interaction with a virtual environment. The force
control is added by visual feedback that makes the system more responsive and accurate …

Humans have multiple ways to adapt their arm dynamics to the task they have to perform.
One way of doing this is through co-contraction of antagonist muscles. In telemanipulation …

Physical interactions between patients and therapists during rehabilitation have served as
motivation for the design of rehabilitation robots, yet there is a lack in fundamental …

A novel lower-limb rehabilitation robot is presented which targets acute, bed-bound patients.
The device incorporates virtual visualizations and games along with haptic feedback to …

Robot-mediated rehabilitation is rapidly advancing field. However, robots that are used for
rehabilitation purposes are usually single task oriented. This paper presents the design of a …

In this paper, we propose a high fidelity haptic interface based on biofeedback. When we
interact with a very stiff virtual object in the virtual world by a haptic interface, the haptic …
