Aiming at solving the problem of joint angle measurement during the movement of small robots or robotic arms that cannot be equipped with angle encoders, this paper provides a small, lightweight and detachable measurement system. Compared with traditional magnetic and optical joint angle sensors, the principle of this method has the advantages of flexible installation and non-invasive measurement. By simply binding two inertial measurement units (IMUs) on both sides of the robot joint in any pose, real-time and high-precision robot joint angle measurement can be achieved through wireless transmission. At the same time, the relationship between the IMU and the joint pose changes dynamically with the robot, which can avoid measurement errors due to loose binding or robot vibration. In this paper, experiments were carried out on a knee joint rehabilitation training robot which can realize two rehabilitation actions, and the precise and stable joint angle curve of the robot is obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
