This paper proposes a new variable admittance time-delay control strategy based on human stiffness estimation for improving the effectiveness of robot-assisted cooperative rehabilitation training. The control strategy utilizes a time-delay approximator to estimate external disturbances and modeling errors, a sliding mode admittance controller to achieve desired admittance characteristics, and an iterative optimization algorithm to estimate human arm stiffness and adjust human-robot interaction compliance. Experimental investigations involving ten subjects are conducted to validate the feasibility of the proposed control scheme, showing its potential to satisfy the specific training requirements of patients with different weakness levels and promote the effectiveness of robot-assisted training.
This paper proposes a new variable admittance time-delay control strategy based on human stiffness estimation for improving the effectiveness of robot-assisted cooperative rehabilitation training. This control strategy is developed and implemented on a planar upper limb rehabilitation robot. Given the minimum-jerk-based desired trajectories of human hand position, in the developed control strategy, a time-delay approximator is utilized to estimate the external disturbances and modeling errors without exact knowledge of dynamics parameters, a sliding mode admittance controller is applied to obtained objective admittance characteristics, and an iterative optimization algorithm is used to estimate human arm stiffness and adjust human-robot interaction compliance. The closed-loop stability of the proposed control method is demonstrated via Lyapunov function theory. Experimental investigations involving ten subjects are conducted to validate the feasibility of the proposed control scheme. The experimental results show that the interaction compliance during cooperative rehabilitation training can be accurately adjusted based on selected admittance parameters and human arm stiffness, and it contributes to satisfying the specific training requirements of patients with different weakness levels and pro-moting the effectiveness of the robot-assisted training.
