Description:
A new concept smart robots for massage with plane and spatial parallel mechanisms is shown. Plane and spatial parallel robots (PPR and SPR) are based on triangular and octahedral structures. Every one of sides of triangle and ribs of octahedron is linear drive. Ends of the adjacent linear drive are connected with by cylindrical (for triangle) and spherical (for octahedron) joints. As result PPR and SPR have three and twelve degrees of freedom, and they can adapt to body of patient and. Possibility of full automation some kinds massage by autonomous portable smart PPR and SPR is shown. The use of these robots will allow the masseur remotely via the Internet to serve several patients at the same time in real time. PPR and SPR are portable multifunctional smart robots for various rehabilitation applications. Both kinds parallel robots will be discussed in detail.
