Trajectory Optimization Framework for Rehabilitation Robots With Multi-Workspace Objectives and Constraints

RA-L 2023

Robot-assisted neurorehabilitation requires trajectories between arbitrary poses in the patient's range of motion. Data-driven optimization methods, such as Learning by Demonstration, are well suited to replicate complex multi-joint movements. However, these methods lack individualization to patient

Physical Human-Robot Interaction with Real Active Surfaces using Haptic Rendering on Point Clouds

IROS 2020poster

During robot-assisted therapy of hemiplegic patients, interaction with the patient must be intrinsically safe. Straight-forward collision avoidance solutions can provide this safety requirement with conservative margins. These margins heavily reduce the robot's workspace and make interaction with th…
