Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Rehabilitation robots can address therapist shortages but are often costly and bulky.
  • Existing systems limit widespread access to repetitive and intensive therapeutic exercises.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an impedance-based control strategy for the low-cost PlanAID robot.
  • To enable safe and compliant upper-body passive and active rehabilitation exercises.

Main Methods:

  • The PlanAID robot was constructed using consumer-grade components.
  • An impedance-based control strategy was implemented for safe and compliant exercises.
  • System functionalities were assessed using a high-precision force sensor.

Main Results:

  • The PlanAID demonstrated performance comparable to established devices like the MIT-Manus.
  • Achieved a 28 N applicable reaction force and 1.1 kg reflected inertia.
  • Limited coupled stability margins restricted virtual spring constant to 1100 N/m.

Conclusions:

  • The PlanAID robot shows potential as a viable, low-cost solution for real-world rehabilitation.
  • Despite stability limitations, achievable stiffness aligns with practical rehabilitation needs.
  • Initial trials with healthy subjects provided preliminary user feedback.
