Experiment

A virtual task and upper-limb assistive device

Experimental Setup

Students experimenting with software-enabled biomedical devices


Robot-assisted therapies offer a unique opportunity to personalize treatment by adapting in real time to the individual’s needs and capabilities. In this work we aim to evaluate the benefits of online performance-based adaptation of task goals and levels of assistance during intervention protocols.
