Abstract

This paper deals with the design of a robotic device for limb exercising. The attached problem is outlined to identify the main limb exercising features as referring to upper limbs and cable driven robotic solutions. A novel design solution is proposed as consisting in a portable low-cost user-friendly cable driven manipulator. Numerical models and simulations are carried out to verify the feasibility of the proposed solution in terms of operation and motion ranges.
