Application of Intelligent Control Strategy in Movements of Arm Wrestling Robot

In this paper, an arm wrestling robot (AWR) is developed for amusement and developing/strengthening human arm muscles. Everyone regardless of age, sex, weight, dexterity or experience can enjoy it. The AWR arm has 2-DOF, integrated with mechanical parts, elbow/wrist force sensor, motor, encoder and driver, can measure real-time elbow/wrist force of the player during Arm Wrestling game. In this paper, in order to design an anthropopathic, harmonious and fast-response system, intelligent control instead of traditional control method used in common robot movement control is developed for the movement control problems of the mechanical arm. Finally, some experiments on AWR are conducted objectively. The validity and feasibility of this control strategy are confirmed by analyzing experimental results.
