Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The aim of this review was to provide an overview on possible fields where robots with head based control might be used. In that context another object was to investigate the effect of different neck movements on the user’s stress and strain. All in all, 13 studies were included in this review. Their quality was evaluated by a checklist. A total of ten studies showed useful for the further approach. Five dealt with application possibilities for head based control. Four studies assessed the muscle activity of the neck via sEMG and five studies used other measurements for the assessment of stress and strain. In conclusion, there are many possible application areas for head based control which can be further developed to support working persons as well as disabled people. The application of a robot controlled via head movements will be investigated in an upcoming study following the recommendations gathered through this research.
