Abstract

A rehabilitation system includes: a rehabilitation robot configured to execute corresponding actions according to motion instructions; a brain wave detector configured to detect brain wave signals of a user; and control device configured to generate motion instructions according to brain wave signals to control the rehabilitation robot to execute corresponding actions.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A rehabilitation system, comprising:
a rehabilitation robot, wherein the rehabilitation robot comprises:
a base,
a supporter, and
a driving assembly for controlling motion of the supporter, wherein the driving assembly comprises:
a first cantilever connected with the base,
a second cantilever connected with the first cantilever, and
a motor for driving the first cantilever and the second cantilever, wherein the driving assembly is configured to execute corresponding actions according to motion instructions received by the rehabilitation robot, and decrease amplitude of the corresponding physical actions of the driving assembly according to discomfort features in brain wave signals received by the rehabilitation robot;

a brain wave detector configured to detect the brain wave signals of a user;
a control device configured to generate the motion instructions according to the brain wave signals to control the rehabilitation robot to execute corresponding actions; and
a motion image player configured to display motion images corresponding to the corresponding actions to the user;
wherein the control device further is configured to receive the motion instructions obtained by identifying the motion images when the brain wave detector fails to detect the brain wave signals, to control the rehabilitation robot to execute corresponding actions.

2. The rehabilitation system according to claim 1 , wherein the rehabilitation robot further comprises:
a position sensor, located over the supporter and configured to detect a horizontal position of the supporter; and
a torque sensor, located between the first cantilever and the second cantilever and configured to detect a vertical position of the supporter.

3. The rehabilitation system according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to control the driving assembly of the rehabilitation robot according to the horizontal position and the vertical position.

4. The rehabilitation system according to claim 3 , wherein the control device comprises:
a first feature extracting module configured to extract motion features in the brain wave signals; and
a motion instruction generating module configured to generate the motion instructions according to the motion features.

5. The rehabilitation system according to claim 4 , wherein the control device further comprises:
a second feature extracting module configured to extract the discomfort features in the brain wave signals, wherein the motion instruction generating module decreases amplitude or frequency of the corresponding actions according to the discomfort features.

6. The rehabilitation system according to claim 1 , wherein the control device comprises:
a first feature extracting module configured to extract motion features in the brain wave signals; and
a motion instruction generating module configured to generate the motion instructions according to the motion features.

7. The rehabilitation system according to claim 6 , wherein the control device further comprises:
a second feature extracting module configured to extract discomfort features in the brain wave signals.

8. The rehabilitation system according to claim 1 , wherein the motion image player is configured to display the motion images in a virtual reality mode.

9. A rehabilitation method, comprising:
detecting brain wave signals of a user;
generating motion instructions according to the brain wave signals; and
controlling a rehabilitation robot to execute corresponding actions according to the motion instructions,
wherein generating motion instructions according to the brain wave signals and controlling the rehabilitation robot to execute corresponding actions according to the motion instructions comprise:
extracting discomfort features in the brain wave signals,
generating the motion instructions according to the discomfort features; and
decreasing amplitude of the corresponding physical actions according to the discomfort features, and

the method further comprising:
displaying motion images corresponding to the corresponding actions to the user; and
receiving the motion instructions obtained by identifying the motion images when failing to detect the brain wave signals.

10. A rehabilitation device comprising: a processor; and a memory storing executable instructions;
wherein the processor is configured to perform the method according to claim 9 while executing the instructions.

11. A nonvolatile computer readable storage medium storing computer program instructions, which is executed by a processor, to perform the method according to claim 9 .

12. The rehabilitation method according to claim 9 , further comprising:
displaying the motion images in a virtual reality mode.
