    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.

    A Continuously Variable Transmission-Based Variable Stiffness Actuator for Phri: Design Optimization and Performance Verification
    (American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2024) Mobedi, Emir; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    Physical human–robot interfaces (pHRIs) enabled the robots to work alongside the human workers complying with the regulations set for physical human–robot interaction systems. A variety of actuation systems named variable stiffness/impedance actuators (VSAs) are configured to be used in these systems’ design. Recently, we introduced a new continuously variable transmission (CVT) mechanism as an alternative solution in configuring VSAs for pHRI. The optimization of this CVT has significant importance to enhance its application area and to detect the limitations of the system. Thus, in this paper, we present a design optimization approach (an adjustment strategy) for this system based on the design goals, desired force, and minimization of the size of the system. To implement such design goals, the static force analysis of the CVT is performed and validated. Furthermore, the fabrication of the optimized prototype is presented, and the experimental verification is performed considering the requirements of VSAs: independent position and stiffness variation, and shock absorbing. Finally, the system is calibrated to display 6 N continuous output force throughout its transmission variation range. © 2024 by ASME.
