  • Abstract
    We present a navigational interface for users of assistance robots. The interface suggests a motion that places low body load at the lower joints, carries a low risk of falls, and requires high voluntary activation of muscles. We describe an application that uses animations to provide feedback on a user´s sit-to-stand motion in order to demonstrate the potential benefits of such an interface.
