We have identified six main HRI principles that should be considered when designing, implementing, and evaluating rehabilitation robotic systems: (1) level of robot autonomy; (2) HRI interface; (3) interaction structure; (4) adaptation, training, and learning; (5) aesthetics; and (6) length of exposure. Some of these principles have been adapted from the work of Goodrich and Schultz (2007). We discuss the application of our aforementioned design principles to the field of rehabilitation robotics. The following sections define each design principle and provide examples of their application to rehabilitation robots.

Rehabilitation robotics provides rehabilitation through robotic devices. It assists different sensory motor functions such as arm, hand, leg, and ankle. It also provides therapeutic training and gives therapy aids instead of assistive devices. Biorobots are planned and utilized within different fields, famously in hereditary designing to constrain the cognition of people and creatures. Telepresence robots give a remote organize back to communicate in farther locations.

Many people may need physiotherapy during their lifetime. Hence, a robot capable of performing physical therapy exercises on individuals like an expert, with enough performance and adequate safety, may be helpful and extensively employed. Rehabilitation robotics is a field of study devoted to improving rehabilitation by implementing robotic technologies. Rehabilitation robotics include the development of robotic devices intended to help create various activities to aid in therapeutic education and functional evaluation of the patient’s movement abilities (Shakti et al. 2018). Human-robot collaborative transportation allows a person and a robot to carry an item in a shared environment concurrently. This variety of applications presents several theoretical and practical obstacles, mainly resulting from the lack of an established model of human-robot interaction and the difficulty of effectively simulating robot dynamics (Yu et al. 2022). The vast majority of research on robotics focuses on mechanisms with serial connections or the methods by which links and joints are linked in a chain. Parallel connections are an alternative method of forming connections and links in two or more interconnected chains (Bonev 2003). Using parallel robots for rehabilitation is a relatively recent strategy (Sabet et al. 2017). These robots are capable of doing repetitive jobs with great accuracy. The Stewart platform is the most renowned parallel mechanism, established in 1965 (Stewert 1966) The original platform designed by Stewart consisted of a triangular platform held by spherical joints on three manipulators. These three manipulators can adjust the angular length and height connected to the ground by biaxial joints (universal joints). Gough then proposed using six linear operators in parallel, turning the platform into a completely parallel mechanism. Later, Hunt suggested stimulating parallel mechanisms, such as the Stewart flight simulator, as controlled robots. Hunt also studied a combination of both serial and parallel robots in 1983 (Bonev 2003).
