This paper presents and studies various selected literature primarily from
conference proceedings, journals and clinical tests of the robotic, mechatronics,
neurology and biomedical engineering of rehabilitation robotic systems. The
present paper focuses of three main categories: types of rehabilitation robots,
key technologies with current issues and future challenges. Literature on
fundamental research with some examples from commercialized robots and new robot
development projects related to rehabilitation are introduced. Most of the
commercialized robots presented in this paper are well known especially to
robotics engineers and scholars in the robotic field, but are less known to
humanities scholars. The field of rehabilitation robot research is expanding; in
light of this, some of the current issues and future challenges in rehabilitation
robot engineering are recalled, examined and clarified with future directions.
This paper is concluded with some recommendations with respect to rehabilitation
robots.
