Medical and service robotics
integrates several disciplines and technologies such as mechanisms,
mechatronics, biomechanics, humanoid robotics, exoskeletons, and
anthropomorphic hands.
This book presents the most recent advances in medical and service
robotics, with a stress on human aspects. It collects the selected
peer-reviewed papers of the Fourth International Workshop on Medical and
Service Robots, held in Nantes, France in 2015, covering topics on:
exoskeletons, anthropomorphic hands, therapeutic robots and rehabilitation,
cognitive robots, humanoid and service robots, assistive robots and elderly
assistance, surgical robots, human-robot interfaces, BMI and BCI, haptic
devices and design for medical and assistive robotics. This book offers a
valuable addition to existing literature.
