An Admittance Control Scheme for a Robotic Upper- Limb Stroke Rehabilitation System

This paper presents a control scheme for a dual robot upper-limb stroke rehabilitation system. A model of the human arm is outlined and used to formulate an admittance controller operating in human upper-limb joint space. Initial results are provided together with a discussion of future work
