Abstract
In this paper, at first, a teleoperation robot systemwith haptic feedback for rehabilitation is presented. A teleoperation mechanism capable of providing force feedback by means of adjusting the system’s impedance is proposed. The stability of the teleoperation with haptic feedback via a time-delay communication environment is mathematically proved. The proposal operates theoretically with both passive and active assisted movement using teleoperation to rehabilitate of upper limb function. An EMG-moment arm model is proposed for assessing muscle strength. The performance of a two-joint link model using six muscles and a nonlinear relationship between EMG signals and muscle force is confirmed feasible in experiments with five subjects.
