Technology Introduction:
This technology develops an intelligent wrist rehabilitation robot to address wrist disorder challenges. It features a magnetic series elastic actuator for non-contact force transmission and adjustable stiffness to improve safety. A self-alignment mechanism and cable-driven design enable adaptation to various users and 2-DOF control. The device quantifies joint stiffness using torque and angle data and supports multiple rehabilitation strategies aligned with stroke recovery stages.
Industry Applicability:
The magnetic series elastic actuator offers high safety and control stability, already applied in rehabilitation devices. Its adjustable parameters make it suitable for various industry needs. Applications include: 1. Humanoid robot hands, reducing contact force and weight; 2. Finger exoskeletons, meeting the stiffness adjustment needs of patients; 3. VR haptic devices, enhancing interaction with virtual environments. MSEA is versatile and holds great potential for industrial applications.
