Rehabilitation is an important process to restore muscle strength and joint's range of motion. This paper proposes a biomechatronic design of a robotic arm that is able to mimic the natural movement of the human shoulder, elbow and wrist joint. In a preliminary experiment, a subject was asked to perform four different arm movements using the developed robotic arm for a period of two weeks. The experimental...
This thesis presents a biomechatronics approach to the design and fabrication of an artificial robotic arm called Artificial Hand Gripper (AHG), consisting of a shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist and hand. Detail 3D designs of the AHG are described including an elbow powered by a car's power window motor, DC motor powered wrist and a string actuated AHG with 5 artificial fingers which acts as slave...
This paper explains how a humanoid robot NAO can be used as an assistive technology in specific therapy for children with cerebral palsy (CP). The role of the robot is to motivate the children as to keep them engaged in therapy. To achieve this, the robot must have appropriate appearance to be able to establish affective engagement between child and robot. In addition, the robot should exhibit the...
This paper embarks on the initial development of a telerehabilitation system in assistive therapy for children with disabilities. The goal is specifically for children with autism and cerebral palsy at various locations to gain access to robotic intervention. Ten learning modules targeting at specific therapy outcomes have been developed for this system. Here, this research proposes to link various...
