Kinematic/stiffness analysis, comparison and optimization of a redundantly actuated ankle rehabilitation robot and its non-redundantly actuated form
This paper proposes a novel three degrees of freedom (3-DoF) redundantly actuated parallel ankle rehabilitation manipulator PUPaR-2PRPaU-PU and its non-redundantly actuated form, PUPaR-PRPaU-PU. The proposed parallel ankle rehabilitation manipulators (PARMs) feature two rotational motions (2R) for plantarflexion/dorsiflexion (PL/DO) and inversion/eversion (IN/EV) of the ankle, as well as one translational motion (1T) for traction along the longitudinal axis of the lower leg. First, mobility analysis, inverse and forward kinematics, singularity analysis, and workspace analysis are presented for the two PARMs. Then, the transmission index and the good transmission workspace are selected to evaluate the transmission performance of the two PARMs. Next, the stiffness models are derived through the virtual joint method, and the stiffness performance of the two PARMs is evaluated via the virtual stiffness index. The analysis results demonstrate that the redundantly actuated PARM can achieve better transmission and stiffness performance than its non-redundantly actuated counterpart, despite a slight reduction in its reachable workspace. Finally, the parameter-fitness normalization method is applied to optimize the transmission and stiffness performance of the two PARMs.
