Abstract
The need for an improved resistance training exercise machine is documented and the microcomputer controlled Robotic Exercise Machine is proposed as the answer to that need. A description of the mechanical and electrical hardware and the control software is given. The control algorithms which provide for path and force teaching and velocity command generation are discussed. The safety features of the machine are explained.
