Internship Experience for Learning the Operation of a Cable-Driven Robot for Rehabilitation Tasks

2nd International Symposium on the Education in Mechanism and Machine Science (ISEMMS); NOV 23-24, 2017; Madrid, Spain
This paper describes an example of internship experience at LARM, Laboratory of Robotics and Mechatronics, at University of Cassino and South Latium. In particular, the main focus of this paper is the learning process as basis of a proper internship. Namely, a specific experiential learning approach is proposed as referring to a low-cost servo motor operation task. The learning task is further defined and developed as referring to a real application with a cable-driven robot for rehabilitation tasks, which has been designed and built at LARM in Cassino and under further investigation within Agewell project.
