An assistant robot with standing-up devices (ARSD) is developed to provide the functions of standing-up from chair and moving for elderly people and paraplegic patients. Virtual prototype technology is employed to make the design and development of the robot more efficient and reliable. And, the co-simulation design method is presented. In order to run a 3D simulation, the model of the robot is built...
