As welfare application of robotics/mechatronics technology, we focus on rehabilitation support of the ankle motion. We redesigned an ankle rehabilitation support device and its control strategy such that both intrinsic safety and functional safety are well secured. By the usage of 3D-CAD with its internal CAE functionality, the rehabilitation support device became 80% smaller in length and 33% smaller in weight, compared with the old model. We discussed the position/force control strategy by considering the usage of rehabilitation purpose.
