For supporting daily activities of elderly and physically disabled people who have lost their body functioning of motions, we have developed a 7-DOF robotic exoskeleton system. It is intended to assist the motions of shoulder and elbow by mounting this on a wheel chair since human shoulder and elbow motions are involved in a lot of activities of everyday life. The proposed mechanism can maximize workspace...
Personal robots and robot technology (RT)-based assistive devices are expected to play a major role in our elderly-dominated society, with an active participation to joint works and community life with humans, as partner and as friends for us. In particular, these robots are expected to be fundamental for helping and assisting elderly and disabled people during their activities of daily living (ADLs)...
This paper presents the PAS-Arm (passive assist arm), a novel assist arm based on passive robotics. PAS-Arms are intended for direct physical interaction with a human operator. PAS-Arms are physically passive. Their purpose is not to enhance human strength but to produce specified but arbitrary two-dimensional guiding surfaces that constrain and guide the motion of the human operator. PAS-Arms have...
The demand for rehabilitation robots is increasing for the upcoming aging society. Power-assisting devices are considered promising for enhancing the mobility of elderly and disabled people. Other potential applications are for muscle rehabilitation and sports training. The main focus of this paper is to control the load of selected muscles by using a power-assisting device, thus enabling ldquopinpointedrdquo...
