Kinematic performance enhancement of wheelchair-mounted robotic arm by adding a linear drive

Abstract: -Wheelchair-Mounted Robotic Arms have been used to help impaired people to reach objects and perform essential activities in an autonomous way. Different available models are presented in this paper and a simple design is proposed to improve the kinematic performances of the integrated system in order to allow the user to increase its capability of interaction with home environment. To this end, a linear drive has been added to the Raptor model in order to move along the wheelchair. The benefit of the proposed… Show more

“…Jaco, marketed since 2009 by the Canadian company Kinova [11], is a 6-DoF manipulator designed for patients with upper limb disabilities such as muscular dystrophy or spinal injuries. Weighing just 5 kg, it offers easy usability and robust gripping capabilities thanks to its three-fingered end-effector, along with software programmability [12]. However, like most devices currently on the market, Jaco is expensive and requires a certain level of understanding and visual skills to be fully utilized.…”

“…The postoperative recovery from ankle injury is slow and ineffective while the application of rehabilitation robots is supposed to be possible to solve this problem. Rehabilitation robots can help patients accomplish repetitive training tasks more accurately and effectively without physical therapists’ excessive participation [ 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Increasing attention has been paid to the robotic rehabilitation that is appropriate to perform repetitive exercises for the recovery from neuromuscular injuries [ 8 ].…”
