Walking Assistance and Resistance of Walking Motion by Trunk and Pelvis Motion Assist
2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2018The aim of this study was to develop a walking assistance device by controlling trunk and pelvis motion. Human gait motion is a whole-body exercise that includes both lower body and upper body motion. Therefore, focusing on trunk and pelvic rotational motion, assist and resist the walking by applying external forces.

Biomechanics of Exoskeleton-Assisted Treadmill Walking
2023 International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR), 2023To exploit the benefits of treadmill-based exoskeletons, it is crucial to assess possible deviations from natural walking depending on assistive parameters. This study evaluated the biomechanics of exoskeleton-assisted treadmill walking by comparing it with free gait. Five healthy participants walked freely on a treadmill and with the assistance of the

Assisting strategy of walking assistive device on inclined terrain
2013 10th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI), 2013This paper introduces a robotic walking support system, Smart Mobile Walker (SMW), and suggests an assisting strategy through an algorithm which estimates terrain slope on heading direction. There is already a theoretical algorithm to calculate terrain slope, but it does not be suitable to apply on robotic system, because it needs heavy quantity of ...

A Control Assist Suit for Stable Walking
2019 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Biomimetics (ROBIO), 2019We propose a wearable active suit that assists human motion control rather than providing power. The suit includes motion sensors, a whole-body motion controller, and actuators that trigger human motions according to orders from the controller. The controller is implemented based on a passive walking model to examine the concept of the motion control ...

Walking Assist Method for VR Zombie
2019 12th Asia Pacific Workshop on Mixed and Augmented Reality (APMAR), 2019Our goal of the research is to propose and develop walking assist methods in real space while playing immersive VR without reducing the user's immersive feeling as much as possible. In this paper, we proposed a navigation system which automatically calculates the route the user should walk so that the user avoid to collide with surrounding obstacles ...

A rehabilitation walker with standing and walking assistance
2008 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2008This paper proposes a robotic walker system with standing and walking assistance function. Our system focuses on domestic use for aged person who needs nursing in their daily life. Our key ideas are two topics. The first topic is combination of standing assistance function and walking assistance function.

Research on the technology of walking intention identification for walking assistant robot
2017 14th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots and Ambient Intelligence (URAI), 2017With the constant development of an aging population, the elderly have the increasingly demands and higher requirements for assistive products for walking. Traditional assistive products for walking can't satisfy demands for independent walking, use friendliness and maintenance of walking ability anymore, thus a new-type assistive product for walking ...

Walking cycle recording and analysis for FNS-assisted paraplegic walking
Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1991In closed-loop functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS)-assisted paraplegic walking, there is a need for reference leg motion trajectories that describe the desired walking cycle. These reference trajectories were defined as the angular changes between the leg segments, as measured by an electrogoniometer system. For each leg, the hip, knee and ankle
