Abstract:

Experiments show that robotized workstations are excellent tools to allow severely disabled people to get back to work. Fifteen years after the first drafts of the CEA's MASTER workstation, AFMA Robots, a French robot manufacturer has sold 10 AFMASTER industrial workstations to the French rehabilitation association APPROCHE. This paper presents this new workstation.
