Abstract

The efficiency of a rehabilitation robot is improved by offering record-and-replay to operate the robot. While automatically moving to a stored target (replay) collisions of the robot with obstacles in its work space must be avoided. A simple, though effective, generic and deterministic algorithm for obstacle avoidance was developed. The algorithm derives a collision free path of the end-effector of the robot around known obstacles to the target location in O(n) time. In a case study, using the rehabilitation robot ARM, the performance of the algorithm was tested. As was a newly human-machine-interface offering this record-and-replay functionality to the user
