Knowing accurate model of a system is always beneficial to design a robust and safe control while allowing reduction of sensors-related cost as the system outputs are predictable using the model. In this context, this paper addresses the kinematical and dynamical model identification of the multipurpose rehabilitation robot, Universal Haptic Pantograph (UHP), and present experimental validations of...
In order to enhance the performance of rehabilitation robots, it is imperative to know both force and motion caused by the interaction between user and robot. However, common direct measurement of both signals through force and motion sensors not only increases the complexity of the system but also impedes affordability of the system. As an alternative of the direct measurement, in this work, we present...
The use of parallel robots has been demonstrated to be an interesting alternative when high accuracy and/or high speed is required. However, in order to achieve these goals, model based controllers are required. This work presents a new model based control approach, the stable Extended CTC, that uses extra data from additional sensors introduced in the passive joints of parallel robot in the controller...
The design of a stable and robust force controller is one of the most important and difficult tasks in rehabilitation robotics. In previous works, the Universal Haptic Pantograph (UHP) was presented as an alternative to conventional arm rehabilitation after a stroke. This robot is composed by a Series Elastic Actuator (SEA) and a Pantograph. In this work an enhanced force control for the UHP is presented...
