Abstract
Abstract. In this paper, a cable-driven body weight support gait training robot (C-BWSGTR) that provides patients with partial body weight support as well as a kind of stable gait training driving force was designed; this device enabled those patients to walk again. Firstly, the overall configuration of the C-BWSGTR was determined, and the structural composition and working principle of the robot were established. Secondly, the vector algebra method was applied to carry out the kinematic analysis and establish the mathematical model of the C-BWSGTR. The displacement of each cable during the patient gait training was also calculated. Thirdly, the motion planning of the C-BWSGTR was carried out in stages, using the time–phase distribution relationship based on an S-shaped speed curve. Meanwhile, the displacement, speed, and acceleration of each cable during the patient gait training were calculated and corresponding change curves were generated. Finally, a position servo composite control strategy for the C-BWSGTR was designed by analyzing the robot's dynamic characteristics of the forward channel transfer function. The simulation analysis and prototype experiment in this paper verified that the designed composite position servo control strategy can meet the requirements of the system with respect to stability and a fast response of the system to the loading command.
期刊介绍:
The journal Mechanical Sciences (MS) is an international forum for the dissemination of original contributions in the field of theoretical and applied mechanics. Its main ambition is to provide a platform for young researchers to build up a portfolio of high-quality peer-reviewed journal articles. To this end we employ an open-access publication model with moderate page charges, aiming for fast publication and great citation opportunities. A large board of reputable editors makes this possible. The journal will also publish special issues dealing with the current state of the art and future research directions in mechanical sciences. While in-depth research articles are preferred, review articles and short communications will also be considered. We intend and believe to provide a means of publication which complements established journals in the field.
