Rehabilitation using a force-actuated robot + demonstration
In rehabilitation centres we can meet with various single-purpose machines. With the right deployment of force-actuated robotic arms, new multi-purpose rehabilitation machines can be created that can be easily brought to the patient's bedside. Such equipment can be continuously expanded with additional functionalities, new rehabilitation procedures and continuously developed for the benefit of therapists and patients.

Ľuboš Chovanec
Ing. Ľuboš Chovanec, PhD. works as a researcher and lecturer at the Institute of Robotics and Cybernetics of the FEEIT STU since 2013. He is also a member of the National Robotics Centre, where he tries to link university research with the requirements of companies and other scientific institutions. In his PhD thesis, he worked on the control of low-damped mechatronic systems. In 2020, he and a team of experts participated in the global robotics-medicine competition Kuka innovation award, where they managed to make it to the finals with a robotic application of laser hair removal. Since then, he has been looking for the connection between mathematics, physics and the human motor system as a unique system that needs occasional rehabilitat…
