This article presents the results of tests performed on the mechanical system of wheeled robots, so they can be implemented as therapy instruments for people with different capacities (ASD). The results displayed show the robot's behavior following a trajectory and its dependence on operator handling. In this way, results can be extrapolated about the importance of design for the development of mechanical systems that can be reliable to be implemented as therapy tools.
The article presents the analysis of a robot with three degrees of freedom to follow trajectories through a partitioned control. Which is made up of two revolute and one prismatic joint where the end effector is located, that allows it to move correctly in its work area. This robot has a different structure from those most studied and analyzed by current literature, therefore it presents an opportunity to be used as a didactic resource, due to the structure, the degrees of freedom and the affinity of the models used by the students. The analysis consists of the use of the DH rule for the assignment of frames and referential axes, centers of mass, dynamic model by Jacobian and Christoffel symbols, inverse kinematic model, variables such as friction, gravitational and friction compensation, ending in a model in "Simulink" capable of following trajectories from the partitioned control law.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
