Adaptive Arm Support

Adaptive arm support systems aim to provide assistive robotic devices that adjust their assistance in real-time based on the user's movements and needs. Current research focuses on developing control frameworks that estimate human arm posture and generate compensatory forces, often employing parallel mechanisms and integrating advanced perception systems like stereo cameras for tasks requiring precise manipulation. These systems show promise for improving rehabilitation therapies, enabling activities of daily living for individuals with motor impairments, and automating labor-intensive tasks in fields like horticulture, where gentle manipulation of delicate objects is crucial.
