Project Description and Objectives:
The research and application of robots in medical rehabilitation have increased fast recently. Due to their high sensitivity and operational accuracy, robots have the potential to assist doctors in surgeries, patient care, and rehabilitation exercises. Aiming to explore the robot application in medical rehabilitation, this study particularly focuses on the utilization of the robot to aid bedridden patients in body movement and rolling, thereby assisting nurses in observation and care tasks. The main objective is to develop a model that can accurately estimate the human state changes under operation and provide a control method to move the patients to the expected pose flexibly. To achieve this goal, students are required to study the relevant modeling and control knowledge, as well as conduct experimental validations.
Eligibility Requirements:
C, C++, Matlab, ROS
Main Tasks:
Modeling the robot with humans and controlling it to move patients flexibly.
