Abstract
New research on robotics is the subjec t of a new report. According to news originating from Harbin, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "A new configuration of a 9 -degree-of-freedom (DOF) robot has been designed to address the prevalence of ba lance disorders in patients and the increasing demand for exercise rehabilitatio n training." Our news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Harbin Institute of T echnology: "This lower-limb end rehabilitation robot can assist patients with re petitive movements to stimulate and rebuild their nervous system and improve the ir pelvic and muscle motion control abilities. Starting from functional requirem ents, multiple robot configuration design schemes are proposed, and various perf ormance indicators are comprehensively considered to ultimately select and optim ize a 9-DOF redundant series-parallel hybrid robot and complete its kinematic an alysis and derivation. This robot consists of a 6-DOF vestibular parallel device and a 3-DOF proprioceptive parallel device in series, which are modular in stru cture and function while retaining the advantages of the strong load-bearing cap acity of series robots and the large workspace of parallel robots."
