Abstract
This paper presents the architecture and the control hierarchy of a 3 degrees-of-freedom robot destined for the rehabilitation of the upper limbs. A hybrid control law, using a weighted sum of force and impedance, is proposed to implement the Active-Assisted rehabilitation mode. Parameters’ tuning of the resulting active force feedback controller is based on a compromise between user’s safety and dynamic performances. Some results illustrate the performances of the developed controller.
