Effect of user’s individual features on energy consumption of the orthotic robot
Journal Title: Archives of Transport - Year 2013, Vol 27, Issue 3
Abstract
While working on a system for verticalization and aiding the motion of the disabled, the problem emerged related to evaluation of the effect of individual traits of the users of the system on the obtained characteristics of the actuators. Studies that have been carried out so far, were limited strictly to a case of an ordinary male. The traits of the user will significantly influence operation of the robot, therefore it was decided to carry out studies within a wide range of variability of the basic anthropometric traits. The paper presents a way of determining parameters, which were being changed during the studies, as well as a general structure of the simulation model. Then, a method of computing the energy consumed by the actuators is described, and results of the realized simulation experiments are presented<br/><br/>
