Embodiment Construction

[0055] In describing the present specification, when it is known that the detailed description of the related art may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present disclosure, the detailed description will be omitted. In this specification, "user" refers to a person who wears a wearable assistive device such as an exoskeleton. Furthermore, "assistant" refers to a person who assists the user. The assistant can help the user prepare the exoskeleton for use, for example by transporting the exoskeleton from a storage location to a rehabilitation location. An assistant can further assist the user in donning the exoskeleton and can assist with rehabilitation while the user is wearing the exoskeleton.

[0056] In the present specification, "assisting force" may be an external force additionally provided to supplement a user's natural movement or strength. Auxiliary force can be provided in a specific direction to generate external force using electric motors, hydraulic pumps or act...

Abstract

The invention relates to a wearable auxiliary device. Disclosed herein are controlling a position of a wearable assistance device based on an operating mode, controlling a posture of the wearable assistance device based on different modes of an adaptive and / or rehabilitation device on which an exoskeleton is supported. The exoskeleton may include a main controller that automatically controls postures based on a'moving mode ', a'wearing mode', and a'storage mode 'of the adaptive and / or rehabilitation device. Operating modes may be determined based on changes in height or movement of the adaptive and / or rehabilitation device, and operation of a driver may be controlled based on whether the exoskeleton contacts the ground.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to assistive and / or rehabilitation technologies. Background technique [0002] In assistive and / or rehabilitation technologies, assistive devices (eg, exoskeletons), such as wearable robots, may assist or augment a user's movements. The exoskeleton may be worn on a part of the body and may have a multi-joint skeletal structure that moves as the user's joints move, and the exoskeleton may further provide assisting force to the user. [0003] Typically, an exoskeleton may have motors or drives for generating assist forces. The multi-joint structure and frame of the exoskeleton can be made of metal materials, so the exoskeleton can weigh more than tens of kilograms. For a user wearing such a heavy exoskeleton, the user's assistant may have to carry or pass the exoskeleton to the user by using a separate transport device. Multiple people may have to carry the exoskeleton when a separate means of transport does not exist. Also, ...
