Popis: This paper describes different intelligent active modes to control an exoskeleton robotic device, devoted to the hand rehabilitation. A position-based control with EMG signals and mirroring technique has been implemented, with two different possibilities: triggered ON_OFF control and proportional control. The developed control permits to perform robotic aided exercises for the hand rehabilitation, leveraging the mirroring effect so as to obtain a better neuron-motor recovery. A preliminary study for a force based control has been conducted. The close correlation between the EMG signal and the pressure inside a bottle, grasped by the hand, allows to demonstrate the correlation between the EMG signal and the force exerted. The structure of the possible force-control mode is than presented.
