description In this paper, an autonomous exercise generation system based of fuzzy logic approach is presented. This work attempts to close a gap in the design of a completely autonomous robotic rehabilitation system that can recommend exercises to patients based on their data, such as shoulder range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength, from a pre-set library of exercises. The input parameters are fed into a system that uses Mamdani-style fuzzy logic rules to process them. In medical applications, the rationale behind decision making is a sophisticated process that involves a certain amount of uncertainty and ambiguity. In this instance, a fuzzy-logic-based system emerges as a viable option for dealing with the uncertainty. The system’s rules have been reviewed by a therapist to ensure that it adheres to the relevant healthcare standards. Moreover, the system has been tested with a series of test data and the results obtained ensures the proposed idea’s feasibility.
