Research on Size Synthesis Optimization Design of a Bionic Exoskeleton for Index Finger Rehabilitation

Abstract:

This paper presents a novel wearable robotic hand exoskeleton named ReHand-II for post-stroke rehabilitation. To ensure the consistency of rotation between exoskeleton joints and index finger joints and to realize reasonable range of movement, the kinematics models of left index finger and the exoskeleton are established. And design variables,constraints and objective function are determined. The size synthesis optimization design is realized. Ultimately the size value of each component parameter is determined. The hand exoskeleton is developed according to the results of the optimization. Finally, ReHand-II shows better bio-imitability and Wearable adaptability by wear experiment results.
