摘要

A robotic exoskeleton is a mechanical device that can be worn and is designed to enhance or augment the physical abilities of the human body. It is commonly used for rehabilitation, assistance, or to amplify performance. Typically, it comes equipped with motors and sensors that provide support and mimic natural limb movements. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of stress and strain in an exoskeleton finger model designed for palm rehabilitation purposes, employing materials commonly used in robotic exoskeleton design, including carbon fiber, Al7075, PLA, and ABS. The analysis, conducted using ANSYS engineering simulation, focuses on providing insights into material behavior under various loading scenarios. Carbon fiber emerges as a standout material, demonstrating exceptional strength, making it well suited for components requiring high structural integrity. On the other hand, PLA and ABS exhibit flexibility, catering to specific application needs. The presented results serve as a reference for achieving optimal performance and safety in exoskeleton designs. The outcomes aim to contribute to the development of more efficient, reliable, and customized exoskeleton systems, grounded in advanced material science principles.
