Test analysis for implementation of mechanical and robotic systems in therapy applications

Abstract

This article presents the results of tests performed on the mechanical system of wheeled robots, so they can be implemented as therapy instruments for people with different capacities (ASD). The results displayed show the robot's behavior following a trajectory and its dependence on operator handling. In this way, results can be extrapolated about the importance of design for the development of mechanical systems that can be reliable to be implemented as therapy tools.
