Human--machine load sharing in rehabilitation robotics
Abstract
A force-assist mechanism has been developed to mount on the Chameleon - a wheelchair mounted rehabilitation robot. The device will amplify the forces applied by the user, making it possible to lift a large weight with a small force. This paper describes the test-bed development; instrumentation of the Chameleon with power assistance; and preliminary results on system efficacy.
