Abstract

This research presents the development of a parallel robot designed for the rehabilitation of upper and lower limbs following medical conditions such as strokes, spinal cord injuries, or heart attacks. The robot’s manufacturing process included constructing a frame with varying numbers of links and joints, accompanied by a control system comprising DC motors, motor drivers, and sensors, including the MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope. Experimental results demonstrated the robot’s capability to perform precise and repeatable rehabilitation exercises, with consistent alignment between programmed trajectories and physical implementation. The system’s design and functionality offer a cost-effective and scalable solution for enhancing patient recovery outcomes.
