In this paper, a new type of cable-driven lower limb rehabilitation robot (CDLLRR) based on bilateral control is proposed. Compared with the traditional rehabilitation robot, it has multiple cooperative remote rehabilitation modes of patient-therapist interaction with better safety, mechanical compliance and adaptability. Firstly, according to the characteristics of gait movement of human lower limbs and the performance requirements of the robot in therapy and rehabilitation, the overall structure, main components and assembly arrangement of the robot are designed in detail. Secondly, in order to ensure that the rehabilitation robot has excellent force transparency and system stability while still maintaining a certain position tracking, according to the performance measurement index based on the introduced bilateral control strategy, this paper proposes an improved PD controller based on Anderson method (IPDAM). Finally, the feasibility of the proposed CDLLRR and the effectiveness of the IPDAM are verified by simulation experiments.
