Robotic gaming prototype for upper limb exercise: Effects of age and embodiment on user preferences and movement.

Journal: Restorative neurology and neuroscience

PMID: 29526862

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Effective human-robot interactions in rehabilitation necessitates an understanding of how these should be tailored to the needs of the human. We report on a robotic system developed as a partner on a 3-D everyday task, using a gamified approach.
