ARMin II arm therapy robot with a healthy test subject and a therapist (October 2006). The device has six actuated degrees of freedom for controlling the shoulder, elbow flexion/extension, lower arm pro/supination and wrist flexion extension.	ARMin II robot with a healthy test subject (October 2006). A computer monitor positioned in front of the patient shows a simple ball-game task.

ARMin III robot with a healthy test subject (October 2007). The device as shown in this picture has four actuated degrees of freedom for controlling the shoulder and elbow flexion/extension.	ARMin III with a healthy test subject, January 2009. (ETH and University Zurich, Switzerland".)

ZeroG overground gait. (Download large version .mp4 4.2MB)	ZeroG maintaining 40lbs of constant body-weight support while simultaneously tracking subjects movement. (Download large version .mp4 4.7MB)

ZeroG promotes balance training involving the legs, arms and trunk. After a fall, ZeroG can be reset by simply bouncing in the harness (Download large version .mp4 3.8MB)	With ZeroG, subjects can practice getting off the floor with body-weight support and full safety. (Download large version.mp4 4.8MB)

Practicing sit to stand activities under dynamic body-weight support is possible with ZeroG (Download large version .mp4 1.9MB)	Because ZeroG is mounted overhead, practicing obstacles such as steps is possible. Here the subject is provided 30 lbs of body-weight support and if they fall, ZeroG automatically switches to a holding mode (Download large version.mp4 3.6MB)

ZeroG being tested during overground walking. (Download large version .wmv 7.8MB)	ZeroG utilizes a custom series-elastic actuator to maintain constant rope force. (Download large version.wmv 5.8MB)
