This paper presents the analysis of the workspace and torque capacity of a compliant ankle rehabilitation robot (CARR). The robot has three rotational degrees of freedom (DOFs) redundantly actuated by four compliant actuators. However, it suffers from conflicting workspace and actuation torque due to the use of a parallel mechanism and compliant actuators. To address these issues, also considering physical constraints imposed by human users, the CARR was designed with reconfigurability to make a trade-off between robot workspace and torque capacity for meeting different training requirements. Theoretical analysis indicates that varying kinematic and dynamic performance of the robot can be achieved by reconfiguring the layout of the actuators. Experiments with/without load also demonstrate the validity of the reconfigurable robotic design for practical applications on robotassisted ankle rehabilitation. Future work will focus on the design aspects of the robot for easy adjustments, and the integration of force-distribution based actuator force control for optimal robot torque performance.
