Novel interactive human-robot-systems

Abstract This paper presents several novel interactive human-robot systems which were recently developed at IPK. These systems were designed for direct physical interaction between humans and robots. The principal structures and functions of the following robotic systems are briefly presented: ROBOPED, an advanced parallel robot for orthopedic diagnostics and rehabilitation, STRING-MAN, a wire robot for gait rehabilitation, and IPK's Kobot, a collaborative manipulator for advanced material handling and assembly.
