Abstract

This paper presents a novel concept for a cable-driven device for upper-limb exercising. The proposed device is based on a specific innovative architecture, which is driven by cables. Additionally, magnets are considered as a technical solution for partially compensating gravity and reducing energy consumption. The paper content includes a detailed description of the design process and simulations to validate the engineering feasibility and the effectiveness of the proposed design from power consumption viewpoint.
