英文摘要 | In recent years, the number of limb paralysis patients caused by diseases such as stroke and spinal cord injury has increased. Clinical studies have shown that exercise rehabilitation can help patients recover limb motor function and regain their daily living ability. Compared with traditional rehabilitation methods, robot-assisted training can reduce the number of therapists and physical exertion in rehabilitation process, which lead to lower cost of treatment. At the same time, multi-mode personalized rehabilitation training can be realized to improve the rehabilitation effect. Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant 91648208) and the International Cooperation Program (Grant 61720106012), this paper focuses on the system design, human-robot interaction control and rehabilitation training strategies for a lower limb
rehabilitation robot. The main contributions and innovations of this research are as follows:
1. A foot drop rehabilitation treadmill and a full-cycle lower limb rehabilitation robot were developed for rehabilitation therapy of impaired lower limbs. The foot drop treadmill combines the functions of conventional treadmill and foot drop device. The foot drop mechanism is an independent module, which effectively meets the training needs of patients with foot drop and compensates for the deficiency of conventional rehabilitation treadmill. The lower limb mechanism of the full-cycle lower limb rehabilitation robot has three active joints, which can provide single and multi-joint passive and active training for the lower limbs of the human body. The control architecture and software for the both robot system are designed.
2. Considering the joint coupling factors and viscous forces, a novel friction model is proposed. On this basis, the dynamic models of the lower limb mechanism and the human lower limb are established respectively. Under the condition of strong constraint and highly nonlinearity, the particle swarm optimization and least square method are used to identify the dynamic parameters, so as to obtain an accurate human-robot hybrid
system dynamic model. On this basis, the torque generated by the human lower limbs during the training process is estimated.
3. In order to obtain the optimal impedance parameters in the process of rehabilitation training, an adaptive control method based on fuzzy adjustment of impedance parameters is proposed. The human-robot interaction force, position and velocity errors are used as the input of the variable impedance fuzzy regulator. In order to establish an interactive interface with active compliance, the damping and stiffness coefficients are adjusted in real time by fuzzy reasoning to obtain an ideal impedance parameter. The proposed interaction control method can avoid the secondary injury caused by abnormal muscle activity such as spasm, which may lead to excessive confrontation between the lower limb and the mechanism, and ensure the safety during the rehabilitation training. An indirect adaptive fuzzy controller is designed to stably track the specific trajectory which reflects the patient’s motion intention.
4. An improved Sage-Husa adaptive Kalman filter method is proposed to accurately estimate the human-robot interaction force during the rehabilitation training in real time. Firstly, the state space equation of the human-robot hybrid system is established. Then, the interaction force is expressed as the polynomial function of time, and is introduced into the established state space equation. Moreover, the Kalman filter method is utilized to estimate the extended system state. At the same time, the dynamic function order of the interaction force is adjusted in real time according to the estimation result of each iteration step. In order to deal with the uncertainty of the system noise covariance matrix and maintain the positive definiteness of the measurement noise covariance matrix during the state update process, the improved Sage-Husa adaptive Kalman filter method is implemented to correct the covariance matrices of the system and measurement noise online. Finally, the experiment carried on the lower limb rehabilitation robot show that the proposed method can precisely estimate the human-robot interaction force and has good real-time performance.
5. A velocity adaptive strategy and corresponding training method based on accurate estimation of interaction force and fuzzy variable damping control are proposed for the lower limb rehabilitation robot. Firstly, the estimated human-robot interaction force is converted into a tangential force at the end of the robot along the forward direction of the reference trajectory. Then, the tangential force is translated into the adjustment
amount of the joint velocity by the damping control to dynamically regulate the training speed. At the same time, by giving the adaptive normal velocity, which points to the center of the circle, the robot will be gradually pulled back toward the direction of thereference trajectory. In order to adjust the training intensity according to the recovery of the limb function of the patient, a damping adjuster based on fuzzy rules is designed to regulate the damping coefficient in accordance with the interactive force and the deviation from the reference trajectory. In order to enhance the entertainment of rehabilitation training, the Unity3D software is adopted to design interactive virtual game. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is verified by prototype experiments.
