Robotics for rehabilitation and human amplification is imminent to become part of our daily life. The juxtaposition of human control capability and machine mechanical power offers a promising solution for human assistance and force enhancement. This paper presents an alternative and simple exoskeleton Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for human strength and endurance amplification using a modified version...
A bidirectional force feedback dataglove actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles is introduced which has simpler exoskeleton structure and exerts bidirectional force only on the fingertips. Moreover, its fewer attachments can reduce the effect of the attachment looseness on the accuracy of position and force control. It meets all needs of virtual reality and the requirement of hand rehabilitation...
Pneumatic artificial muscles also known as ldquoPAMrdquo and ldquoPMrdquo, are famous as very light actuators in the current literature. The reason stated in the literature for such claim is their lower ldquopower to weightrdquo ratio compared to other type of actuators namely pneumatic cylinders and electrical motors. However using the ldquopower to weightrdquo ratio of actuators for claiming the...
This paper presents the design of IKO (IKerlanpsilas Othosis), an upper limb exoskeleton oriented to increasing human force during routine activity at the workplace. It can be considered as a force amplification device, conceived to work in collaboration with the human arm and implementing biomimetic principles. The proposed design is intended to find the best compromise between maximum reachable...
