Design, kinematics and dynamics modeling of a lower-limb walking assistant robot

摘要

This paper focuses on a lower limb walking assistant robot. This robot has been designed and modeled for two tasks of facilitating healthy people, and assisting patients for walking. First, basic concepts of the motion mechanism are presented. Next, its kinematics and dynamics equations have been developed. Kinematics analysis has been done using Denavit-Hartenberg scheme to obtain position, velocity and acceleration of center of mass (COM) of all links. Dynamics equations have been developed using recursive Lagrange method and finally inverse dynamics problem has been solved. Obtained simulation results will be discussed which validate the proposed model.
