Many kinds of power-assist robots have been developed in order to assist self-rehabilitation
and/or daily life motions of physically weak persons. Several kinds of control methods have
been proposed to control the power-assist robots according to user's motion intention. In this
paper, an electromyogram (EMG)-based impedance control method for an upper-limb power-
assist exoskeleton robot is proposed to control the robot in accordance with the user's
motion intention. The proposed method is simple, easy to design, humanlike, and adaptable …
