Abstract

The possibility of using robotics in rehabilitation has attracted much interest in the last few years; however, practical implementations are often restricted by cost and limitations of technology. This paper describes a workstation under development at Cambridge University which uses a low-cost commerical robot and a vision system. The workstation is specifically intended to investigate robots in special education and makes use of sensors and markers to reduce the physical and cognitive burden on the user.
