- Human-robotic manipulator's electromechanical interfacePublication . Silva, Miguel Pedro Reis Ramos Rocha e; Silva, Manuel Fernando dos SantosLimb impairments, particularly among stroke survivors, often become permanent without adequate therapy. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in rehabilitation, but it can be physically demanding for therapists. Robot-assisted therapy offers more intensive and consistent treatment, but selecting the right equipment is critical for patient safety. In the context of robotic manipulators, the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) plays a crucial role in enabling effective interaction between the human and the robotic system. This project focuses on designing a novel electromechanical interface that connects the patient’s upper limb to the UR5 manipulator from Universal Robots, ensuring accurate movement during rehabilitation exercises. To validate this interface across various arm dimensions, its performance was analyzed based on its comfort to the user, task performance and accuracy across individuals with different physical characteristics.
