Abstract
A flexible driver, a robot joint, a robot and an exoskeleton robot, the transmission mechanism including an active rotating member, a driven rotating member and a rope, which form a rope drive relationship; wherein, the rope is tightly wound around rotating surfaces of the active rotating member and the driven rotating member, and a rotational central axis of the active rotating member is perpendicular to a rotational central axis of the driven rotating member. An output end of the driving mechanism is connected to the active rotating member, to drive rotation of the active rotating member. The output mechanism includes a flexible driving part, and an output part which is used for connecting to an external actuator. The driven rotating member drives rotation of the output part through the flexible driving part. The flexible driver drives flexibly the actuator through a compact structure as well as reliable and high-efficient transmission.
