Article Preview

Abstract:

With the development of robot technology, massage robot has attracted fully attention, and the study about robot arm has been a growing interest in the area of massage robot. This article has put forward a new massage robot arm, which uses the chain as the main transfer mode by the requirements of the overall design massage of the robot arm. The design of big arm, shoulder joint, forearm, elbow joint and wrist are introduced. Based on the design requirements, we made some improvements with sprockets, ensuring transmission conditions and meeting the massage requirements. And finite element analysis for the designed arm, results show that the structure design can meet the requirements.
