In this study, a wearable upper limb robot arm design has been designed for individuals who experience discomfort in the arm muscle and experience power loss. The user with arm discomfort can attach the designed system to her arm and perform daily life activities like healthy individuals. The upper limb robot arm system is designed in Solidworks program. The system is attached to the waist of the user and wraps the entire arm. The designed robot arm system is designed to be produced of 5 cm thick aluminum material. Angular servo motors are mounted from the joints to the wrists and elbows. The linear motor is mounted to the shoulder part of the upper limb system to provide both vertical and horizontal movement. Necessary analyses were done for the mechanism designed with the help of Solidworks software. The safety coefficients of the arm, hand, and shoulder apparatuses were calculated for a maximum load of 250 N. Later, restrictions were made for the necessary movements and the powers and torque values of the motors to be used were calculated. Also, maximum displacements were determined by making force distributions for the arm, hand, and shoulder parts of the system.
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.
