HELIOS: The human machine interface for MARSE robot

摘要

This paper presents preliminary results of the HELIOS software, a human machine interface developed to drive a wearable robot (MARSE) to provide rehabilitation therapy to the patients having impaired upper limb functions. The software was designed to increase the attractiveness of using the MARSE with a simple interface, which is easy to handle and allows visualization of a set of practical exercises used by clinicians/therapists. To evaluate the usability of the HELIOS experiments involving healthy male subjects were performed with the MARSE robot.
