In this paper the rehabilitation device for upper arm based on artificial muscles is introduced. Presented automated rehabilitation device has three degrees of freedom: 2 DOF in arm and 1 DOF in elbow that provides almost all basic rehabilitation exercises. Artificial pneumatics muscles will be tested in connection with spring and antagonistic connection. This system provides lifting and falling of arm construction based on patient force. There is possibility to generate help force during rehabilitation or opposite load. Artificial muscles are controlled by pneumatic valves terminal from micro computer based on MCU. Higher level control system provides artificial intelligence implementation based on neural network for prediction and change of load according sensor values history (incremental sensor, pressure sensor). For prototype testing there is described usability of industrial robot to test precision of load and trajectories during rehabilitation. This automatic rehabilitation device will help to reduce therapeutics work with patient, automate and improve rehabilitation process.
