These systems were designed for direct physical interaction between humans and robots. The principal structures and functions of the following robotic systems are briefly presented: ROBOPED, an advanced parallel robot for orthopedic diagnostics and rehabilitation, STRING-MAN, a wire robot for gait rehabilitation, and IPK's Kobot, a collaborative manipulator for advanced material handling and assembly.en658conference paper
