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...

In both neurorehabilitation and functional augmentation, the patient or the user's muscular effort diminishes when the movement of their limb is supported by a robot. Is this relaxation a result of "slacking" by letting the robot take-over the moveme...
