For robot teleoperation, a lot of research has been done to control the slave robot from a remote site using a masterarm. The concept of a distributed controller architecture for the masterarm is introduced in the paper. To reduce possible non-uniform time delay and to have higher position command update rate, the host controller with distributed satellite controllers is developed. Each satellite controller measures the corresponding joint angle, while the host controller performs initial calibration, inverse kinematics calculation, and position commands generation. The host controller and the satellite controllers are networked via a SPI (serial peripheral interface) protocol. For force feedback, the host controller solves the joint torque relations based on the kinematics of the masterarm and the satellite controller controls each joint’s torque. This distributed controller greatly reduces calculation and control loads and makes the electrical wiring very simple. In order to measure finger movement of the operator, the master hand is developed using infrared light. A similar slave satellite controller for this master hand is interfaced to the host controller via a SPI network. For teleoperation of the KIST humanoid robot which has two arms and two hands, the masterarm controller with one host controller and 16 satellite controllers is implemented. Force feedback with less than 2 msec update rate is achieved. This masterarm/hand is also integrated with a graphic model instead of using the slave robot. The experimental results show the performance of the distributed controller

The feasibility of an alternative method to support body weight in a powered exoskeleton is demonstrated. Instead of using an overhead suspension system, body weight is supported by augmenting the joint moments through virtual model control. The advantages of this novel method is that it allows for independent support of the left and right leg, and does not interfere with the excitation of cutanous afferents and balance of the body or trunk. Results show that after a short familiarization period the activity of muscles during initial stance reduces and kinematics become close to normal.

Chronic hand impairment is common following stroke. This paper presents an actuated thumb exoskeleton (ATX) to facilitate research in hand rehabilitation therapy. The ATX presented in this work permits independent bi-directional actuation in each of the 5 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) of the thumb using a mechanism that has 5 active DOF and 3 passive DOF. The ATX is able to provide considerable joint torques for the user while still allowing backdrivability through flexible shaft transmission. A prototype has been built and experiments were conducted to evaluate the closed-loop position control. Further improvement and future work are discussed.

Due to aging of the population, growing numbers of people are affected by impairments of their motor system, caused by disorders like stroke. Treatment of stroke patients is very intensive in the amount of training per patient per day. The treatment duration per patient combined with the total number of people suffering from a stroke makes rehabilitation therapy extremely costly. This makes devices that could reduce the costs of therapy attractive to rehabilitation centres. Currently there are robotic rehabilitation devices under development for both the upper and lower extremities. Our group focuses mainly on the recovery of gait after stroke. The LOPES robot is designed for use in training on a treadmill to accommodate for limited space of rehabilitation centres and easy access for the therapist to the patient. As a ‘robotic therapist’ it is meant to make rehabilitation more effective for patients and less demanding for therapists.

We present an exoskeletal haptic device called SKK Hand Master. The device is semi-directly driven by linkages with ultrasonic motors, which has characteristic features close to cybernetic actuators. In the control of the device, we propose a method of measuring the joint positions and joint torques of the finger and a control method called PWM/PS is presented to overcome the intrinsic disadvantages of ultrasonic motors such as hysteresis. Construction of the device is addressed and several results of experiments for performance evaluation are included
