ABSTRACT

Based on the statistic, stroke is one of the largest killers in Malaysia only after heart

disease and cancer where an estimated 40,000 people in Malaysia suffer from this type of

disease. Another statistic shows 12 to 53 new spinal injuries per million inhabitants in the

developed countries per year. These injuries lead to disability of human body parts including

paralyzed arm. In order to assist paralyzed arm sufferers, studies have been conducted to

improvise the development of bionic arms. Based on the problem statement, previous studies

on bionic arm had some limitation to users. Moreover, previous study has also shown that the

design of bionic arms is lacking in engineering characteristic. The objectives of this project are

to derive the mathematical model of bionic arm using kinematic analysis and formulate joint

torque and to design and validate the bionic arm in term of structural strength and torque. This

proposed motion study is to provide opportunity and benefit for the patient who are suffering

from paralyzed arm. Next, the methodology of the project started with kinematic analysis and

mathematical model of bionic arm and validation by Robotics Toolbox MATLAB Software.

Then, the formulate joint torque of bionic arm by static forces in manipulator is analysed. After

that, the bionic arm was designed and analyzed by SolidWorks simulation. Finally, Maximum

torque was simulated by SolidWorks Motion. As the result, the joint angle configuration on

kinematics calculation and MATLAB Simulation both have obtained[1,0,0],[−1,0,0], [0,−1,0]

and [0.5,0.5,0]. Then, SolidWorks Simulation obtained factor of safety, where the value is 34

and 14 for whole part testing and 772, 155, 4, 1273, 15 and 8 for by part testing. After that, the

calculated result of formulate torque is 19.14Nm, 19.14Nm, 11.05Nm, 4.458Nm and 4.458Nm.

Meanwhile, the results of SolidWorks Motion are 66.75Nm, 66.31Nm, 37.71Nm, 0.04Nm and

5.22 for dynamic motion method and 66.94Nm, 66.27Nm, 37.78Nm, 0.04Nm, and 5.21Nm for

static motion method. For the conclusion, the derived kinematic model for bionic arm has been

validated by MATLAB Simulation. Then, all analyzed structure strength parts are safe. Finally,

ABSTRAK

Berdasarkan statistik, strok merupakan pembunuh nombor satu di Malaysia selepas sakit

jantung dan barah dimana dianggarkan 40,000 rakyat Malaysia menghidap penyakit ini. Statistic

lain menunjukkan 12 dari 53 kecederaan tulang belakang setiap sejuta penghuni di negara

membangun setiap tahun. Kecederaan ini telah menyumbang kepada kecacatan bahagian tubuh

badan termasuklah ketidakupayaan tangan. Untuk membantu pengidap ketidakupayaan tangan,

kajian telah dilakukan untuk memperbaiki pembangunan tangan bionik. Berdasarkan penyataan

masalah, kajian lepas terhadap tangan bionic mempunyai keterbatasan terhadap pengguna.

Tambahan pula, kajian lepas juga telah menunjukkan reka bentuk tangan bionic kekurangan

ciri-ciri kejuruteraan. Objektif projek ini adalah untuk menerbitkan model matematik tangan

bionik menggunakan analisis kinematik dan memformulasi sendi daya kilas dan untuk mereka

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Project Background

Recently, a lot of researchers are developing artificial arm which can closely resemble

the function of a human arm. Bionic arm is applicable to various field such as the military and

medical. In the medical field, this technology is mostly applied to help patients who are suffering

from paralyzed arm resulted from stroke, upper limb injury and old age factor. These inabilities

may cause inconveniences for them to perform daily routines. There are various types of bionic

arm. Many research were conducted to improve on the development of bionic arm. A bionic

arm is a complex piece of engineering. It requires deep understanding of the knowledge and

process to successfully build a bionic arm. In order to help patients with paralyzed arm, the study

of bionic arm is introduced. The motion study of a new bionic arm design to assist patients with

paralyzed arm was proposed to overcome and improve the situation for real life application.

Hopefully, this will help to improve the life of the sufferer, provide more comfort and ease their

daily activities. The bionic arm also is designed to be ergonomic so that the users of the bionic

(20)

1.2 Motivation

Bionic engineering is a method to study the living system with the intention to apply the

principles to the design of an engineering system. The bionic arm is used in the medical field as

a rehabilitation robot. The users are able to improve the movements and functions of their arm

using this bionic arm.

Based on the National Stroke Association of Malaysia (Nasam) statistic, stroke is one of

the largest killers in Malaysia only after heart diseases and cancer. At another edge, stroke is

one of the contributors to severe disability, and year by year an expected 40,000 people in

Malaysia suffer from this disease. In the year 2005 alone, 17909 stroke sufferers were admitted

into public hospitals all over the country. By the year of 2020, this statistic is expected to rise to

25,000 per year. On top of that, a study conducted by Dr. Tan Chong Tin, the senior consultant

at the neurology clinic of University Malaya Medical Center suggested that 70% of stroke

patients who recuperated from stroke stopped taking parts in social activities, 30% are in need

of assistance and 15% passed away within a month. [1]

According to The Neurosurgical Association of Malaysia (NAM), there are 12 to 53 new

spinal discomfort per million inhabitants in the developed countries per year. At a certain time

in the United States only, 721 to 906 people are suffering from spinal cord injury per million

populations. The new spinal cord injury is predicted to increase in Malaysia. For instance, in the

Neurosurgical service in Sarawak General Hospital, a case of spine injury is reported every

month for patients with head injury. These patients usually are young and a ratio of two thirds

of these happen to a person less than 30 years of age. However, it varies from country to country.

About 20 to 57 percent of people diagnosed with spinal cord injury have injuries elsewhere. [2]

(21)

1.3 Problem Statement

Some patients who are suffering from stroke, injury on the upper limb, and some older

patients are unable to move their arm and hand normally. This problem causes limitations for

patients to perform their daily activities as they cannot move their upper limb properly.

Therefore, the need for a new motion study to design bionic arm as assistive technology to

overcome the problem is vital. This study may be beneficial for patients who lost abilities to

move their arm by providing more comfort, convenience, and self-reliability in their daily life.

Previously, the design and functions of a bionic arm were limited. For instance, many of

the bionic arms only function as an assisting tool for rehabilitation therapy. The patients mainly

used the bionic arm during therapy sessions, but they did not always wear it all day long to

perform daily routines at home. Thus, it is vital that the design for this new bionic arm serves

not only for therapy purposes, but is also used to assist patients in moving their hand just like a

healthy person all day long.

Other than the aforementioned disadvantages, the design of previous bionic arms were

lacking in engineering characteristics such as the absence of ergonomics implementation on

bionic arm. Consequently, it caused injury, discomfort, and was unsafe to the user of bionic arm.

Other than that, previous bionic arms were also not portable as it was attached to the wheelchair

or it was too big and heavy to carry, thus limiting the mobility of the user. In order to overcome

(22)

1.4 Objective

The objective this project are:

1. To derive the mathematical model of bionic arm using kinematic analysis and

formulate joint torque.

2. To design and validate the bionic arm in term of structural strength and torque.

1.5 Scope

This project will focus on supporting system of an 80kg able-bodied user suffering with

the disability to move the arm. The bionic arm is design to be an exoskeleton robot where it will

be actuated by an electrical actuator available on the market. In this project, the kinematics of

the bionic arm manipulator will be derived. Besides, the exoskeleton arm will be designed in

three dimensions by using SolidWorks Software. Apart from that, the upper limb exoskeleton

will be analyzing the performance of the bionic arm in term the structural strength and torque

requirement.

1.6 Project Significance

This proposed motion study of a new bionic arm design to assist paralyzed arm will

provide opportunities and benefits for patients who are suffering from paralyzed arm especially

those resulted from stroke and spinal cord injury. This study may improve on previous bionic

CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

This chapter is dedicated for preliminary reviews for the research method of bionic arms

making approach. The literature review will clarify sustainability associated with this research

study. This chapter will review exoskeleton as mechanism in bionic arm robot. Then, the

anatomy of the upper limb is discussed thoroughly. Next, the explanations of actuators, sensors,

power transmission, material, ergonomics mechanism, and microcontroller are clearly discussed

throughout this chapter.

2.1 Introduction

According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Bionic is

defined as the Application of biological principles to the study and design of engineering

systems, especially electronic systems. [3] Referring to the Oxford Advance Learner’s

Dictionary, exoskeleton is defined as a hard outer covering that protects the bodies of certain

animals. [4] Exoskeleton robots are an actuated skeleton-like, external supportive structure

robots applied to human. There are many functions of exoskeleton such as, extending or

powering human performance as applied in military equipment or rehabilitation process of

(24)

contact with an illusionary physical environment or object. These haptic devices are usually

referred to as kinesthetic interfaces. Other possible applications are in gaming and advanced

fitness equipment. [5] Exoskeleton robots are also applied in training human motor skills. For

example, it is used in the rehabilitation of arm functionality or gait after a stroke. [5]

2.2 Limb

Limb is a jointed or prehensile, appendage of human body. The limb is divided into the

upper and the lower limb. In human anatomy, the upper and lower limbs are commonly referred

as the arms and the legs. According to Basic Human Anatomy website, a lower limb has four

major parts: a girdle formed by the hip bones, the thigh, the leg, and the foot. Its main function

is to support the weight of the body, adapting to gravity, and locomotion. As for the lower limb,

it is customary to include regions that are transitional between the limb and the trunk, especially

the gluteal and inguinal regions. [6] The human upper limb can be separated into shoulder joint,

upper arm, elbow joint, forearm, wrist joint and hand. The upper arm is linked to the torso by

the shoulder joint. Then, the forearm is connected to the upper arm through the elbow joint, and

forearm and the hand link the wrist joint. The human upper limb can be simplified as a spatial

linkage mechanism composed of several rigid links connected through revolute pairs according

to the human anatomy and mechanisms. The skeletons are links, and the revolute pairs represent

the joints. The upper limb consists of seven main independent degree of freedom, and they are

the shoulder flexion and extension movement, the shoulder abduction and adduction movement,

the shoulder medial and lateral rotation movement, the elbow flexion and extension movement,

the forearm pronation and supination movement, the wrist flexion and extension movement, the

wrist abduction and adduction. [7] And the kinematical model of the human upper limb is shown
