Recently, due to an increasing elderly population, the improvement of medical treatment and prevention of lifestyle diseases, home healthcare is more on demand. Our research objective is to develop autonomous mobile home healthcare and rehabilitation robots for motor-function impaired patients (MIPs).

The robot being developed should be able to track and follow patients’ motion, accurately measure lower limb joint trajectories of patients, and observe/recognize patients’ behaviors based on measured motion data in an indoor environment.
