Compact Hip-Force Sensor for a Gait-Assistance Exoskeleton System
In this paper, we propose a compact force sensor system for a hip-mounted exoskeleton for seniors with difficulties in walking due to muscle weakness. It senses and monitors the delivered force and power of the exoskeleton for motion control and taking urgent safety action. Two FSR (force-sensitive resistors) sensors are used to measure the assistance force when the user is walking. The sensor ...
متن کاملHuman-in-the-loop optimization of exoskeleton assistance during walking.
Exoskeletons and active prostheses promise to enhance human mobility, but few have succeeded. Optimizing device characteristics on the basis of measured human performance could lead to improved designs. We have developed a method for identifying the exoskeleton assistance that minimizes human energy cost during walking. Optimized torque patterns from an exoskeleton worn on one ankle reduced met...
متن کاملDesign of a Powered Lower-limb Exoskeleton and Control for Gait Assistance in Paraplegics
iii To my wife, Renee iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have been priveledged to work and study under engineers of the highest caliber during my five years at Vanderbilt. I am grateful for and amazed by the consistantly insightful vision with which my advisor, Dr. Michael Goldfarb, has directed our lab. His integrity and humility inspire me. My gratitude also extends to Hugo Quintero for his exceptional en...
متن کاملDesign of a Walking Assistance Lower Limb Exoskeleton for Paraplegic Patients and Hardware Validation Using CoP
The design of an assistive lower limb exoskeleton robot for paraplegic patients that can measure the centre of pressure is presented. In contrast with most biped walking robots, the centre of pressure (CoP) or zero moment point (ZMP) has not been actively used in the operation of exoskeleton robots. In order to measure CoP in our exoskeleton robot, two kinds of for...
متن کاملPneumatically Actuated Exoskeleton for Gait Rehabilitation
This paper describe the mechanical and control system design of a 10 DOF (Degrees Of Freedom) lower limbs exoskeleton for gait rehabilitation of patients with gait dysfunction. The system has 4 double-acting rod pneumatic actuators (two for each leg), that controls the hip and knee joints. Motion of each cylinder’s piston is controlled by two pressure proportional valves, connected to both cyli...
