Le robot Lambda, l’innovation au service de la remise en forme

Reymond Clavel, Mohamed Bouri

Le Lambda est simple grâce à sa structure avec une base fixe et une transmission du mouvement depuis les moteurs vers la jambe. L’absence de réglages anthropométriques a été évitée grâce à la programmation convenable des trajectoires du robot. L’espace de travail se translate ainsi avec la translation des axes q1 et q2 en fonction des longueurs anthropométrique de la personne à entrainer. Le Lambda est rigide grâce à la fermeture de la chaine cinématique permettant ainsi une meilleure reprise des efforts entre les deux moteurs de la base (q1 et q2).
