Design and Simulation of a Single DOF Human-Like Leg Mechanism

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper is carried out the selection and simulation of a one degrees of freedom (DOF) leg mechanism. The leg mechanism consist of a nine bar linkage and is based on a Low-cost Easy-operation idea. Virtual simulation tests of the model shows the feasible of the proposed leg mechanism, for human leg motion assistance. Kinematics and dynamics analysis of the leg mechanism is carried out. Finally, dynamic simulation results reveal the motion characteristics and performance of the leg mechanism.
