在机器人康复中，将机器人设备连接到用户肢体上的方式构成了产品质量的关键要素，特别是在确保良好的配合性、舒适性、准确性、可用性和安全性方面。在这篇文章中，我们提出了一个新的技术概念-“变刚度结构”--通过提供一种能够通过施加负压从柔性纺织品状态切换到更刚性状态的材料化合物，从而改进了“机器人设备与肢体”连接的这些方面。本文在实验的基础上描述了材料的概念和基本性能。
In robotic rehabilitation, the way of attaching the robotic device to the users' limb constitutes a crucial element of product quality, particularly for assuring good fitting, comfort, accuracy, usability, and safety. In this article, we present a new technological concept — ‘Variable Stiffness Structure’ — allowing for an improvement of these aspects in the ‘robotic device to limb’ — connection by offering a compound of materials that are together able to switch from a flexible textile-like state to a more rigid state by applying negative pressure. The paper describes the concept and the basic behaviour of the material, based on experiments.
