Item Open Access Actuation Design Methodology for Haptic Interfaces and Rehabilitation Systems(IEEE 8th International Conference on Application of Information and Communication Technologies, 2014) Folgheraiter, MicheleThis paper introduces a methodology and a software framework intended to optimize and speed up the design process of a haptic interface or a rehabilitation system. Starting from an initial mechanical design the procedure allows to export the kinematic and dynamic properties of the robotic system in a simulation environment. The software receives as additional input the Cartesian or joints trajectories and generates as output the required torques at the joints. From the recorded measurements the program extracts the torque ranges necessary to choose a suitable actuation system for the robot. The possibility to run the simulation in batch modality allows also to define different optimization techniques that may be used to reduce the overall system weight or increase its payload
