The ESA Human Arm Exoskeleton for Space Robotics Telepresence
نویسندگان
چکیده
This Paper describes the design of the ESA Human Arm Exoskeleton, which has been developed to enable force-feedback telemanipulations with redundant robotic arms. It is described, how several shortcomings of previous telemanipulation systems were eradicated, to meet the system requirements for a lightweight, easy wearable and comfortable system. The patented novelties towards prior arm exoskeletons are enlightened, and the methodology is shown, according to which the system was designed. The prototype, which has been developed at ESTEC is described in detail, outlining the special features of the design.

Exostation: 7-dof Haptic Exoskeleton and Virtual Slave Robot Simulator
EXOSTATION is an ESA-funded project aiming at developing a complete haptic control chain. The demonstrator is composed of a 7-DOF portable arm exoskeleton master, controlling an anthropomorphic slave robot interacting with its working environment. This system is meant to be used in telemanipulation and telepresence modes (master/slave control), making it usable in many applications including sp...
متن کاملGround verification of the feasibility of telepresent on-orbit servicing
In an ideal case telepresence achieves a state, where a human operator can no longer di erentiate between an interaction with a real environment or a technical mediated one. This state is called transparent telepresence. The applicability of telepresence to on-orbit servicing (OOS), i.e. an unmanned servicing operation in space, teleoperated from ground in real time, is veri ed in this paper. F...
متن کاملDesign and Modeling of an Upper Extremity Exoskeleton
This paper presents the design and modeling results of an upper extremity exoskeleton mounted on a wheel chair. This new device is dedicated to regular and efficient rehabilitation training for weak and injured people without the continuous presence of a therapist. The exoskeleton being a wearable robotic device attached to the human arm, the user provides information signals to the controller ...

In this paper we explain the methodology we adopted to design the kinematics structure of a multi-contact point haptic interface. We based our concept on the analysis of the human arm anatomy and kinematics with the intend to synthesize a system that will be able to interface with the human limb in a very natural way. We proposed a simplified kinematic model of the human arm using a notation co...
متن کاملConceptual Design of a Gait Rehabilitation Robot
Gait rehabilitation using body weight support on a treadmill is a recommended rehabilitation technique for neurological injuries, such as spinal cord injury. In this paper, a new robotic orthosis is presented for treadmill training. In the presented design the criteria such as low inertia of robot components, backdrivability, high safety and degrees of freedom based on human walking are conside...
