072 ETS-MARSE

The aim of the proposed project is to further develop the ETS-MARSE exoskeleton robot for upper limb rehabilitation. More specifically, the objectives are to integrate EMG signals as a control source, as is currently done with the force sensor. Various EMG signal filtering processing techniques will be analyzed (wavelets, Bayesian approaches, etc.). A controller based on a neuro-fuzzy approach will be considered. The latter has shown good potential for 2 DDL. Reassessment of robot safety in the presence of real subjects by a professional who will be part of this stage. The recommendations made will be integrated into the different levels (robot and interface). Evaluate the interface and the robot in a real context with real subjects.
