Abstract

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability today. Rehabilitation robot can benefit the patients to perform intensive and repetitive task-specific rehabilitation training to enhance motor recovery with less effort. Engagement in rehabilitation training, namely active rehabilitation is a key factor for patient to get effective recovery. In this paper, we propose an upper-limb exoskeletal underactuated rehabilitation robot with only 2 actuated degrees of freedom (DOFs) for task-specific rehabilitation training. To ensure the patients’ engagement in performing training, we used an eye gaze tracking based interaction method to guide the end-point of the robot to move on its workspace, a 2D surface, as a result of performing task-specific rehabilitation training. Finally, some validation experiment is conducted on the interaction efficiency.
