Medical and service roboticsintegrates several disciplines and technologies such as mechanisms,mechatronics, biomechanics, humanoid robotics, exoskeletons, andanthropomorphic hands.This book presents the most recent advances in medical and servicerobotics, with a stress on human aspects. It collects the selectedpeer-reviewed papers of the Fourth International Workshop on Medical andService Robots, held in Nantes, France in 2015, covering topics on:exoskeletons, anthropomorphic hands, therapeutic robots and rehabilitation,cognitive robots, humanoid and service robots, assistive robots and elderlyassistance, surgical robots, human-robot interfaces, BMI and BCI, hapticdevices and design for medical and assistive robotics. This book offers avaluable addition to existing literature.
