Inverse kinematic analysis and trajectory planning of a modular upper limb rehabilitation exoskeleton
Background:
Stroke is the most prevalent neurological disease and often leads to disability. Stroke can affect a person's daily life, for example, its typical feature is the decline in the patient's upper limbs. In order to reduce the sports injury of stroke patients, the best method is to carry out certain rehabilitation training.
Objective:
In this paper, inverse kinematic analysis and trajectory planning of a modular upper limb rehabilitation exoskeleton are proposed.
Methods:
The reverse coordinate system method is applied to solve inverse kinematics of the exoskeleton with a non-spherical joint in the wrist. For verifying the effectiveness of the algorithms, the smooth round-trip trajectory movement in joint place is designed and simulated.
Results:
The reverse coordinate system method can simplify the calculation process compared with the normal coordinate system. Smooth round-trip trajectory planning is simulated to generate a smooth trajectory curve.
Conclusions:
The developed inverse kinematics algorithm and trajectory planning method are effective.
