This paper presents a robot system developed for medical purpose. A 6-degree-of-freedom robot was introduced for physical
exercise and rehabilitation. This system was proposed for stroke patients or patients who cannot use one of their arms or
legs. The robot system exercises the hemiplegic part based on the motion of normal part of a patient. Kinematic studies on
the human body and robot were applied to develop the robotic rehabilitation exercise system. A clamp which acts as an end
effector of the robot to hold a patient was designed and applied to the robot to guarantee the safety of patients. The proposed
robotic rehabilitation system was verified by simulations and experiments on arm (elbow and shoulder) motion. Patients are
expected to be able to exercise various motions by themselves with the proposed robotic rehabilitation system.
