Design and Kinematics Analysis of a Bionic Finger Hand Rehabilitation Robot Mechanism

Abstract

The rehabilitation process of human fingers is a coupling movement of wearable hand rehabilitation equipment and human fingers, and its design must be based on the kinematics of human fingers. In this paper, the forward kinematics and inverse kinematics models are established for the index finger. Kinematics analysis is carried out. Then a bionic finger rehabilitation robot is designed according to the movement characteristics of the finger, A parallelogram linkage mechanism is proposed to make the joint independent drive, realize the flexion/extension movement, and perform positive kinematics and inverse kinematics analysis on the mechanism. The results show that it conforms to the kinematics of the index finger and can be used as the mechanism model of the finger rehabilitation robot.
