Abstract
Discusses a control problem of robotic orthoses attached to the arms of a caregiver for power assistance. Target motions of caregivers are described first. Adopting a macro-micro structure for the robotic orthoses is then discussed. A stability problem is also discussed for the power assisting control proposed by the authors
