  • Abstract
    In recent years, the population of elderly people is increasing rapidly. Rehabilitation training systems using robotics and virtual reality technologies, therefore, attracts attention. This paper introduces the development of an upper limb rehabilitation robot with guidance control. This study investigates how the motor learning effect improves with low stiffness guidance control based on pneumatic artificial muscles.
