Reference Trajectory Adaptation to Improve Human-Robot Interaction: A Database-Driven Approach.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference Jul 1, 2018
Many robotic devices that are used for therapy or as assistive devices rely on pre-defined reference trajectories to assist the user's movements. Fixed pre-defined trajectories force the user to adapt to unnatural movement patterns which may be detri...
