    (UMT Lahore, 2024-08-13) Muhammad Ammar Arshad; Muhammad Bilal Asad; Ghulam Haider
    With an increase in the population of the world and a vast majority of them aging with the passage of time we need improved methods of rehabilitation. Advancements in the field of robotics has caused massive advancements in the field of biomechanical rehabilitation. Exoskeletons can allow for improvements in the field of rehabilitation by not only reducing the strain on the patients but also reduce the strain felt by physiotherapists. ARULE (Adjustable Rehabilitation Upper Limb Exoskeleton) is an exoskeleton designed for the purpose of rehabilitation while having the versatility to provide physiotherapy for all body types. The exoskeleton design is also portable which makes it a viable option for physiotherapy at home. The Design will utilize a Linear actuator for the adjustment of its arms height. The design will be driven by Servo Motors and will provide us 5 DOF. The exoskeleton will also contain batteries inside in case of a lack of power supply or emergencies. The design will also contain proximity sensors for an emergency shutdown in case the motion exceeds the set parameters.
