Abstract
This paper presents an adaptive admittance control scheme that integrates an adaptive neural network (NN) algorithm as a shared autonomy framework to achieve the Assist-as-needed (AAN) property in robotic rehabilitation. The proposed algorithm enables real-time adjustment of control parameters based on human performance, without requiring extensive offline training. An energy-based performance index dynamically balances tracking accuracy with minimal robotic intervention to encourage active human participation. Furthermore, a modified virtual energy tank approach is introduced to preserve system passivity, preventing unsafe behaviors. Experimental results underscore the algorithm’s adaptability, ensuring compliant behavior as evidenced by a notable 83% reduction in average stiffness, reflecting a corresponding decrease in robotic intervention, due to detection of active human participation. Moreover, the algorithm ensures safe interaction and effective task completion. These findings highlight the framework’s potential for improving robotic rehabilitation by intelligently adapting to user needs and providing safety-aware control.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
