THE PROSPECTS FOR THE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT OF THE ROBOTIC MANIPULATION MECHANOTHERAPEUTIC COMPLEXES

Abstract

The ongoing active development of robotics in the framework of the new economic paradigm known as «the 4th technological revolution» opens up new possibilities for the progress in various disciplines including medicine. The further improvement and clinical application of robotic manipulation mechanotherapeutic complexes are among the major priorities for the Russian public healthcare system. The article represents the characteristics of the Russian robotic manipulator prototype designed to enhance the effectiveness of medical rehabilitation, develop various options of the robotic situational behavior, and specify the topical issues as regards the improvement of the manipulation robotic systems that require the effective solutions and actions. The prospects for the formation of the basic principles of new specialty «massage programmer» are outlined based on the above considerations.
