理解可穿戴机器人与人体之间的物理交互对确保安全与舒适至关重要。然而,这种交互在两个关键方面具有复杂性:(1) 涉及的运动形式,以及 (2) 软组织的非线性行为。已有多种方法尝试更好地理解这一交互,并改进物理接口或束带的量化指标。由于这两个方面密切相关,有限元建模与软组织表征能为束带引起的压强分布和剪切应力提供重要见解。然而,当前表征方法通常仅依赖单一自由度上的一个拟合变量,限制了其适用性,因为可穿戴机器人交互常涉及多个自由度。为此,本文提出一种双变量表征方法,同时考虑法向力与切向力,旨在识别可靠材料参数,并评估单变量拟合对力与力矩响应的影响。该方法通过分析不同场景和材料模型下的归一化均方误差(NMSE),证明了在表征过程中引入两个变量的重要性,为尽可能接近真实的仿真提供了基础,重点关注用户与可穿戴机器人之间交互的束带与肢体部分。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Understanding the physical interaction with wearable robots is essential to ensure safety and comfort. However, this interaction is complex in two key aspects: (1) the motion involved, and (2) the non-linear behaviour of soft tissues. Multiple approaches have been undertaken to better understand this interaction and to improve the quantitative metrics of physical interfaces or cuffs. As these two topics are closely interrelated, finite modelling and soft tissue characterisation offer valuable insights into pressure distribution and shear stress induced by the cuff. Nevertheless, current characterisation methods typically rely on a single fitting variable along one degree of freedom, which limits their applicability, given that interactions with wearable robots often involve multiple degrees of freedom. To address this limitation, this work introduces a dual-variable characterisation method, involving normal and tangential forces, aimed at identifying reliable material parameters and evaluating the impact of single-variable fitting on force and torque responses. This method demonstrates the importance of incorporating two variables into the characterisation process by analysing the normalized mean square error (NMSE) across different scenarios and material models, providing a foundation for simulation at the closest possible level, with a focus on the cuff and the human limb involved in the physical interaction between the user and the wearable robot.
