Robots for pipe inspection have been studied for a long time and many mobile mechanisms have been proposed to achieve the inspection task within pipelines. Localization is an important factor for inpipe robot to perform a successful autonomous operation. However, because of its unique characteristics of inpipe condition, sensors which have good performance in localization, like GPS and beacon, cannot...
A knee brace with a locking mechanism has been designed and tested for leg muscles to reduce the applied load to the knee during walking on a flat surface. The system function consists of locking leg movement at the “heel strike” phase of walking cycle. The user can not bend his knee more than the locking angle from this phase and the brace supports excessive load applied to his knee so as to minimize...
Many factors affect biomechanics of lower limbs during walking, including the gate state and the according pressure distribution of feet. However, such relationship between the pressure distribution and the gate status has not been taken into account in detail to analyze lower-limb kinematics and kinetics during walking. In this study, a sensor system with force sensing resistors (FSR) was developed...
