    The main objective to develop controller for the rebab robot, therefore to achieve the main objective, the subsequent objective is to formulate the mathematical modelling of 2 DOF of upper arm, to develop upper arm rebab robot, evaluate the performance of the controller and facilitate the creation of new and more improved devices for physiotherapy robot ; therefore, this research will investigate rehabilitation robots, it have shown a high potential for improving the patient鈥檚 mobility, improving their functional movements and assisting in daily activities. However, this technology is still an emerging field and suffers from several challenges like compliance control and dynamic uncertain caused by the human鈥搑obot collaboration. The main challenge addressed in this thesis is to develop a controller to the rehab robot and formulate the mathematical modelling of 2 DOF of upper arm. Ensure that the exoskeleton robot provides a suitable compliance control that allows it to cooperate perfectly with humans even if the dynamic model of the exoskeleton robot is uncertain. The PID controller is a widely used control algorithm that aims to regulate a system's output by continuously adjusting its input. In the context of a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) robot arm, the PID controller plays a crucial role in achieving precise and accurate arm movements. The Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller employs three main components to achieve control: proportional, integral, and derivative terms

    For many years, the human being has been trying, in all ways, to recreate the complex mechanisms that form the human body. Such task is extremely complicated and the results are not totally satisfactory. However, with increasing technological advances based on theoretical and experimental researches, man gets, in a way, to copy or to imitate some systems of the human body. These researches not only intended to create humanoid robots, great part of them constituting autonomous systems, but also, in some way, to offer a higher knowledge of the systems that form the human body, objectifying possible applications in the technology of rehabilitation of human beings, gathering in a whole studies related not only to Robotics, but also to Biomechanics, Biomimmetics, Cybernetics, among other areas. This book presents a series of researches inspired by this ideal, carried through by various researchers worldwide, looking for to analyze and to discuss diverse subjects related to humanoid robots. The presented contributions explore aspects about robotic hands, learning, language, vision and locomotion
