A comprehensive literature review on rehabilitation robots and soft healthcare robots is carried out to identify the key issues. It begins with a survey of existing robotassisted rehabilitation techniques proposed for human assistance and treatment. Three typical types of rehabilitation devices are upper-limb rehabilitation robots, gait rehabilitation exoskeletons and ankle rehabilitation robots. Following it, a variety of existing soft robots are presented, especially for healthcare applications.
