Abstract

In this paper we explain the methodology we adopted to design the kinematics structure of a multi-contact points 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 coming from the robotics field.To find out the best kinematics architecture we employed real movement data,measured from a human subject,and integrated them with the kinematic model of the exoskeleton,this allow us to test the system before its construction and to formalize specific requirements.We also implemented and tested a first passive version of the shoulder joint.
