Simulation of a Walking Robot-Exoskeleton Movement on a Movable Base

Abstract

The paper studies the problem of movement of a two-legged walking machine on a movable base. This task is relevant for design rehabilitation and mechanotherapy complexes for people with impaired functions of the musculoskeletal system. Presents a mathematical model that allows obtaining the kinematic and dynamic parameters of the movement of the executive units of the device under study. The paper presents a method for planning the trajectory of exoskeleton links, its algorithmic and software implementation. The paper proposes the structure of the automatic link position control system, which ensures the movement of the executive links along a given trajectory. A mathematical apparatus is proposed for studying the dynamics of the controlled movement of the links of the human-machine system of the exoskeleton. The article presents the results of numerical experiments on the movement of the low-limb exoskeleton leg in the one step mode and analyzes them.
