Abstract:
Objective:A novel four-degree-of-freedom upper limb rehabilitation robot was designed to overcome the shortcomings of the structure of the most of serial robots. Methods:The shoulder and elbow joint drive system and the information detection system were placed in the base. The synchronous belt drive system and the spiral bevel gear transmission system were designed to transmit power from the base to the shoulder and elbow joint of the arm. The cubic polynomial trajectory planning method based on the joint space was selected to accomplish the trajectory planning of the recovery movements of taking objects and drawing quadrilaterals, and the single-degree-of-freedom motion control experiment and multi-degree-of-freedom trajectory planning experiment were designed to verify the rationality and feasibility of the design. Results:Each joint of the rehabilitation robot reached the designed range of motion at the designed speed, and well completed the planned rehabilitation training movements. Conclusion:This robot can effectively reduce the volume and mass of the mechanical arm, overcome the influence of motor noise and radiation on patients' rehabilitation training, and assist patients to complete a variety of rehabilitation exercises.
