Abstract: Based on the analysis of the methods for upper limb rehabilitation training, an anthropomorphic upper-limb exoskeleton was developed. Anatomical and physiological characteristics and upper limb joint ranges of motion are also considered. The rehabilitation robot is achieved by 4 single-axis revolute joints which are shoulder abduction-adduction (abd-add), shoulder flexion-extension (flx-ext), elbow flx-ext and wrist flx-ext. Kinematics and dynamics analysis of the rehabilitation robot are made. The passive rehabilitation mode and active rehabilitation mode are researched, and the result of experenment is shown that the robot can finish the rehabilitation task well.

Abstract: A new kind of walking assistance mechanism in aided-walking wheelchair is proposed to help stroke and cord injury patients on gait rehabilitation training and aided-walking indoor and outdoor. Each side of the walking assistance mechanism, which is a double-crank linkage mechanism actuated by one driver, assists the motion of thigh and shank synchronously. The mechanism can control the walking gait of both legs to assist the patients in walking and gait rehabilitation training. The mechanism is analyzed, and the optimal proportion of the structure dimension suitable for different person is obtained according to the clinical gait analysis data. The simulation results show that the walking assistance mechanism can simulate the nature gait during human walking and realize the walking assistance and gait rehabilitation training function.

Abstract: This paper used digital image technology to detect surface defects of steel ball, and designed mechanism body and the corresponding control system. In order to improve the poor control effect of basic PID, we put forward modified PID control strategy, combining speed-variable integral, differential, and anti-saturation integral, then realized optimum design for PID parameters. The experimental results indicated that PID control strategy in the paper based on optimizing parameters had a maximum output at the initial time interval, so that the response speed of system would be much higher, and the adjusting time would also be shorter.
