• Abstract: This paper presents a shared-control rehabilitation policy for a custom 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DoF) upper-limb robot that decomposes complex reaching tasks into decoupled spatial axes. The patient governs the primary reaching direction using binary commands, while the robot autonomously manages orthogonal corrective motions. Because traditional fixed-frequency control often induces trajectory oscillations due to variable inverse-kinematics execution times, an event-driven progression strategy is proposed. This architecture triggers subsequent control actions only when the end-effector enters an admission sphere centred on the immediate target waypoint, and was validated in a semi-virtual setup linking a physical pressure sensor to a MuJoCo simulation. To optimise human--robot co-adaptation safely and efficiently, this study introduces Dual Agent Multiple Model Reinforcement Learning (DAMMRL). This framework discretises decision characteristics: the human agent selects the admission sphere radius to reflect their inherent speed--accuracy trade-off, while the robot agent dynamically adjusts its 3D Cartesian step magnitudes to complement the user's cognitive state. Trained in simulation and deployed across mixed environments, this event-triggered DAMMRL approach effectively suppresses waypoint chatter, balances spatial precision with temporal efficiency, and significantly improves success rates in object acquisition tasks.

A Deep Q-learning agent is employed to serve as a high-level path planner, providing the SMPC with target positions that move the robots towards a desired global goal.
