Concept, results and future topics for the Human Robotics Research Center at Kyushu Sangyo University

Abstract

The Human Robotics Research Center at Kyushu Sangyo University was established in 2013 as a practical center for the study of robots designed for rehabilitation and care-support. The HRRC seeks to implement robots intended for the medical and care fields to address problems in those fields. We have focused on the development of rehabilitation robots for spinal cord injury patients. Here, we present three different robots we have developed for standing-motion training, primary-walking-pattern training, and practical-walking training.
