Procedimiento de diseño de un exoesqueleto de miembro superior para soporte de cargas

[Resumen] El presente artículo describe el proceso de diseño de un exoesqueleto de miembro superior dentro del marco del proyecto ExIF, el cual tiene como objetivo dar soporte al operador en tareas de instalación y mantenimiento de instalaciones. Además, se pretende estudiar las características técnicas que deberán cumplir los motores que se seleccionen para accionar dicho dispositivo, con el objetivo de que se cumplan con las especificaciones técnicas y requerimientos de las tareas objetivo seleccionadas.Generalitat Valenciana; ACIF 2016/21

Development of a robotic device for post-stroke home tele-rehabilitation

This work deals with the complex mechanical design task of converting a large pneumatic rehabilitation robot into an electric and compact system for in-home post-stroke therapies without losing performance. It presents the new HomeRehab robot that supports rehabilitation therapies in three dimensions with an adaptive controller that optimizes patient recovery. A preliminary usability test is also conducted to show that its performance resembles that found in RoboTherapist 2D commercial system designed for hospitals. The mechanical design of a novel and smart twodimensional force sensor at the end-effector is also described
