Abstract
This paper focuses on the design of a 2-DOF exoskeleton arm with decoupled dynamics. The goal is to simplify the controller design by reducing the effects of complicated manipulator dynamics. The added epicyclic gear train allows the optimal redistribution of kinetic energy, which leads to the linearization and decoupling of the dynamic equations. The determination of the parameters of the added links is based on eliminating coefficients of nonlinear terms in the manipulator’s kinetic and potential energy equations. The suggested design methodology is illustrated by simulations carried out using the software ADAMS.
