Abstract
General
Rehabilitation Robotics is the discipline that deals with applying robot technology to rehabilitation and the support of disabled persons. In the robotics world, that moved from the idea of robotics (1920) via the introduction in factories (1960), Rehabilitation Robotics can be characterised by the development of service robots (1990 onwards) and is still in an infant stadium.
