This paper presents the development of an interaction-torque control architecture for a rehabilitation exoskeleton (RehabExos) with flexible joints equipped with internal torque sensors. The architecture consists of an outer control loop, which is based on the kineto-statics of the RehabExos, and on four identical-independent inner full-state joint-torque controllers (IJTFC). The considered IJTFC...
A linear-quadratic-Gaussian regulator is proposed for the torque control of flexible robotic joints with built-in torque sensor. The regulator requires the joint-torque sensor information only and features: (1) a Kalman filter that, beside reducing the noise and evaluating the derivative of the torque sensor measure, is able to estimate all the external and internal torques acting on the joint; 2)...
This paper deals with the development of a novel exoskeleton for the robotic rehabilitation of upper extremities. The system is based on modular custom-designed actuation groups implementing high reduction ratios and redundant position measurement for securing patient safety, and joint torque sensing for guaranteeing system performance and providing application flexibility. Experimental results of...
In this paper, we present the design of a new fMRI compatible haptic interface with 3DOFs, based on electrical DC actuation, for the study of brain mechanisms of human motor control. In order to evaluate the validity of the proposed solution, we performed some preliminary experiments with a single degree of freedom device to test the compatibility with the fMRI environment. The 1DOF design was extended...
