Motorized Circular Rail with RGB-D Sensor on Cart for Physical Rehabilitation

摘要

This paper introduces a motorized circular rail managing the movement of two carts equipped with an RGB-D sensor each. The proposal is aimed at continuously tracking a person who is undergoing a series of physical rehabilitation exercises from two different viewpoints to monitor if the exercises are being correctly conducted. More concretely, this work offers all details of the trajectory calculation for safe movement of both carts on the motorized circular rail. Then, two study cases are presented to show the efficiency of the control algorithms implemented.
