The LabVIEW-based control system for the upper limb rehabilitation robot

In this paper, a control system of upper limb rehabilitation robot based on LabVIEW was proposed, and the structure of the control system was also provided. Through using the LabVIEW, the system had a good software interface and control effect. In addition, with the communication protocol between the robot and LabVIEW, the system can realize the real-time transmission of control signal and control character analysis, and then select the corresponding function to achieve rehabilitation training of upper limb rehabilitation robot control. LabVIEW had the rich library function and many advantages such as easy debugging, programming and so on. The control system of the upper limb rehabilitation robot rehabilitation training based on LabVIEW can be extremely convenient to control the robot's rehabilitation training, moreover, the man-machine interface was friendly and easy for the operator to use. Finally experimental results showed that the the system based on LabVIEW software can make exercises rehabilitation training of the upper limb rehabilitation robot more stable operation.
