Abstract

Upper limb rehabilitation robot can facilitate patients to regain their original impaired arm function and reduce therapist’ workload. However, the patient does not have a direct control over his/ her arm movement, which may lead to discomfort or even injury. This paper focuses on the development of a self-motion rehabilitation robot using Perception Neuron motion capture, where the movement of the impaired arm imitates the motion of the healthy limb.  The Axis Neuron software receives the healthy upper limb’s motion data from Perception Neuron. Unity serves as the simulation engine software that provides a 3-dimensional animation. ARDUnity acts as the communication platform between Unity software with Arduino. Arduino code is generated using Wire Editor, which avoids the need of the programming to be written in C++ or C#. Finally, Arduino instructs the exoskeleton motors that are connected to the impaired arm to move, following the healthy joint’s motion. The forward kinematics analysis for the robotic exoskeleton has been carried out to identify its workspace. Hardware experimental tests on the elbow and wrist flexion/ extension have shown the root-mean-square errors (RMSE) between the healthy and impaired arms movement to be 1.5809○ and 12.1955○ respectively. The average time delay between the healthy and impaired elbow movement is 0.1 seconds. For the wrist motion, the time delay is 1 second. The experimental results verified the feasibility and effectiveness of the Perception Neuron in realizing the self-motion control robot for upper limb rehabilitation. The proposed system enables the patients to conduct the rehabilitation therapy in a safer and more comfortable way as they can directly adjust the speed or stop the movement of the affected limb whenever they feel pain or discomfort.

Abstract

An accurate force-tracking in various applications may not be achieved without a complete knowledge of the environment parameters in the force-tracking impedance control strategy. Adaptive control law is one of the methods that is capable of compensating parameter uncertainties. However, the direct application of this technique is only effective for time-invariant unknown parameters. This paper presents a Function Approximation Technique (FAT)-based adaptive impedance control to overcome uncertainties in the environment stiffness and location with consideration of the approximation error in the FAT representation. The target impedance for the control law have been derived for unknown time-varying environment location and constant or time-varying environment stiffness using Fourier Series. This allows the update law to be derived easily based on Lyapunov stability method. The update law is formulated based on the force error feedback. Simulation results in MATLAB environment have verified the effectiveness of the developed control strategy in exerting the desired amount of force on the environment in x-direction, while precisely follows the required trajectory along y-direction, despite the constant or time-varying uncertainties in the environment stiffness and location. The maximum force error for all unknown environment tested has been found to be less than 0.1 N. The test outcomes for various initial assumption of unknown stiffness between 20000N/m to 120000N/m have shown consistent and excellent force tracking. It is also evident from the simulation results that the proposed controller is effective in tracking time-varying desired force under the limited knowledge of the environment stiffness and location.
