    Velocity-Level Kinematics of a Continuously Variable Transmission System for Phri
    (Springer International Publishing AG, 2025) Mobedi, Emir; Dede, Mehmet Ismet Can
    New generation robots pave the way for physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) through improvements in control and design techniques. While the former is achieved with the help of a number of sensory information, variable stiffness actuators (VSA) are exploited for the design of these robots to achieve inherent compliance. Recently, continuously variable transmission-based VSA has been developed to be used for pHRI, specifically for haptics. The fundamental characteristic of this new CVT mechanism is that it regulates output position and torque independently via the sphere transmission element. In this study, velocity-level kinematics of this new CVT system is carried out to demonstrate its step-less speed variation feature. Moreover, simulations are conducted in ADAMS and Solidworks software packages at 8 transmission points selected unequally. Results show that the average value of overall ADAMS and Solidworks errors computed with respect to the computed velocity are reported as 1.09%, and 0.53%, respectively.

    A Framework for Adaptive Load Redistribution in Human-Exoskeleton Systems
    (Ieee-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers inc, 2025) Mobedi, Emir; Solak, Gokhan; Ajoudani, Arash
    Wearable devices like exoskeletons are designed to reduce excessive loads on specific joints of the body. Specifically, single- or two-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) upper-body industrial exoskeletons typically focus on compensating for the strain on the elbow and shoulder joints. However, during daily activities, there is no assurance that external loads are correctly aligned with the supported joints. Optimizing work processes to ensure that external loads are primarily (to the extent that they can be compensated by the exoskeleton) directed onto the supported joints can significantly enhance the overall usability of these devices and the ergonomics of their users. Collaborative robots (cobots) can play a role in this optimization, complementing the collaborative aspects of human work. In this study, we propose an adaptive and coordinated control system for the human-cobot-exoskeleton interaction. This system adjusts the task coordinates to maximize the utilization of the supported joints. When the torque limits of the exoskeleton are exceeded, the framework continuously adapts the task frame, redistributing excessive loads to non-supported body joints to prevent overloading the supported ones. We validated our approach in an equivalent industrial painting task involving a single-DOF elbow exoskeleton, a cobot, and four subjects, each tested in four different initial arm configurations with five distinct optimisation weight matrices and two different payloads.
