  • Abstract
    We developed a robotic orthosis capable of helping human forearm motion. This orthosis was carefully designed such that mechanical safety for human beings could be ensured. A power assist control scheme for the robotic orthosis is proposed. The performance of the developed system is examined by several experiments
