Design and Optimization of the Thigh for an Exo- skeleton based on Parallel Mechanism
نویسندگان
چکیده
A full parallel mechanism is suggested as a base construction for an exoskeleton to implement complex movement of body parts of the human relativ to each other. The optimal design of such a structure for a thigh is presented. The positions of the connection points of the linear actuators to the moving platform were chosen as design parameters. The calculation of these design parameters was perform numericaly. The results show that the designed parallel mechanism allows arbitrary motion of the thigh in a workspace of the mechanism which is large enough not only for walking but also for more complex movements like sitting down on a chair and standing up.

This paper addresses the problems caused by an inappropriate selection of sliding surface parameters in fuzzy sliding mode controllers via an optimization approach. In particular, the proposed method employs the parallel distributed compensator scheme to design the state feedback based control law. The controller gains are determined in offline mode via a linear quadratic regular. The particle ...

In modeling a cold standby redundancy allocation problem (RAP) with imperfect switching mechanism, deriving a closed form version of a system reliability is too difficult. A convenient lower bound on system reliability is proposed and this approximation is widely used as a part of objective function for a system reliability maximization problem in the literature. Considering this lower bound do...
