Recently, home medical care is being promoted, and the development of a machine that can easily exercise the range of motion of the ankle joint at home is desired. In this study, we have developed a home-based ankle rehabilitation machine using rubber-less artificial muscle, which is lightweight, high power, and excellent in flexibility. In controlling the posture of the rehabilitation machine, smooth operation is required in order to exercise the range of motion of the joint effectively. In this paper, we consider the posture control method of the ankle rehabilitation machine using the rubber-less artificial muscle manufactured.
