    PhiCube is a modular robotic platform designed for bilateral upper-limb rehabilitation in pediatric populations with neuromotor disorders.

  • 2

    The device features independent motorized joints that can be reconfigured to align with anatomical planes for versatile therapeutic applications.

  • 3

    Kinematic simulations demonstrated that PhiCube can facilitate various training patterns, from isolated distal movements to multi-joint synergies.

  • 4

    The bilateral coupling controller allows for adjustable inter-limb interaction, ranging from unilateral guidance to fully symmetric bilateral coordination.

  • 5

    PhiCube integrates gamification to enhance engagement during therapy, mapping game trajectories to robotic assistance in real-time.
