title = "Discrete and continuous inputs as command control sources for rehabilitation robot manipulators",
abstract = "Three user input strategies were investigated as command control sources for a rehabilitation robot manipulator in an unstructured environment. The inputs included discrete (voice commands), continuous (shoulder position), and combined (voice commands integrated with shoulder position). A graphical simulation of a commercial robot manipulator was developed, controllable by each of the three input strategies. The inputs were evaluated by measuring the performance of able-bodied subjects in a video game based on the animated robot. Results indicate that discrete input produced the best performance for most subjects, but continuous input produced significantly better performance for some subjects.",
