Abstract
A hybrid-driven waist rehabilitation robot (HWRR) is designed for human waist training. According to the analysis of human body structure, the structure of the rehabilitation robot that employs the double parallel mechanism is presented. The cable-driven parallel mechanism is chosen to drive the human lower limb, and pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) is chosen to twist the human waist. Based on the synthesis of the two types of actuators, the adaptability and safety of the HWRR are enhanced. The inverse kinematics and statics are analyzed, and the Jacobian matrix is established to analyze the rehabilitation robotic features. In addition, on the basis of the Jacobian matrix and the statics equilibrium equation, the kinematic performances of the HWRR in terms of workspace, dexterity and stiffness are calculated and analyzed.
