• Abstract: The use of rehabilitation robotics in clinical applications gains increasing importance, due to therapeutic benefits and the ability to alleviate labor-intensive works. However, their practical utility is dependent on the deployment of appropriate control algorithms, which adapt the level of task-assistance according to each individual patient's need. Generally, the required personalization is achieved through manual tuning by clinicians, which is cumbersome and error-prone. In this work we propose a novel online learning control architecture, which is able to personalize the control force at run time to each individual user. To this end, we deploy Gaussian process-based online learning with previously unseen prediction and update rates. Finally, we evaluate our method in an experimental user study, where the learning controller is shown to provide personalized control, while also obtaining safe interaction forces.

  We propose a machine learning-based estimator of the hand state for rehabilitation purposes, using light exoskeletons. We build a supervised approach using information from the muscular activity of the forearm and the motion of the exoskeleton to reconstruct the hand's opening degree and compliance level. Our approach is validated with a real light exoskeleton.

  We present LILAC, a framework for incorporating and adapting to natural language corrections online during execution. Instead of discrete turn-taking between a human and robot, LILAC splits agency between the human and robot. We show that our corrections-aware approach obtains higher task completion rates, and is subjectively preferred by users.
