This paper proposes command signal generating method for a wearable robot using the force as the input signal. The basic concept of this system pursues the combination of the natural and sophisticated intelligence of human with the powerful motion capability of the robot. We define a task for the command signal generation to operate with the human body simultaneously, paying attention to comfort and ease of wear. In this study, we suggest a basic exoskeleton experimental system to evaluate a HRI(Human Robot Interface), selecting interfaces of arm braces on both wrists and a weight harness on the torso to connect the robot and human. We develop the HRI to provide a command for the robot motion. It connects between the human and the robot with the multi-axis load-cell, and it measures the relative force between the human and the robot. The control system calculates the trajectory of end-effector using this force signal. In this paper, we verify the performance of proposed system through the motion of elbow E/F(Extension/Flexion), the shoulder E/F and the shoulder Ab/Ad (Abduction/Adduction).

Various studies to improve the physical abilities of the human have been steadily continued from the past to the present. Only recently such technology has been realized, and those are expected to replace or complement human beings in large part. In this paper, the current status of developed wearable robots is investigated and studies were conducted in order to apply the types of robots in industry spot. In order to apply wearable exoskeleton robot to industry which enhances human physical capability, driving range of the robot's degrees of freedom were selected by analyzing working motion, and augmentative exoskeleton structure design process is presented by analyzing require torque and power during selected working motion. At the end of this paper, the designed mock-up is introduced to validate the feasibility of designed robot.

This study proposes a design process for an upper limb assistive wearable soft robot that will enable the development of a clothing product for an upper limb assistive soft robot. A soft robot made of a flexible and soft material that compensates for the shortcomings of existing upper limb muscle strength assistive devices is being developed. Consequently, a clothing process of the upper limb assistive soft robot is required to increase the possibility of wearing such a device. The design process of the upper limb auxiliary soft robot is presented as follows. User analysis and required performance deduction-Soft robot design-upper limb assistive wearable soft robot prototype design and production-evaluation. After designing the clothing according to the design process, the design was revised and supplemented repeatedly according to the results of the clothing evaluation. In the post-production evaluation stage, the first and second prototypes were attached to actual subjects, and the second prototype showed better results. The developed soft robot evaluated if the functionality as a clothing function and the functionality as the utility of the device were harmonized. The convergence study utilized a process of reducing friction conducted through an understanding and cooperation between research fields. The results of this study can be used as basic data to establish the direction of prototype development in fusion research.

본 논문은 3D프린터와 모터를 활용해 무게와 부피를 줄인 재활용 웨어러블 로봇 손의 설계 및 구현에 관한 연구이다. 재활용 웨어러블 로봇은 재활의 효과도 중요하지만, 사용의 간편성 또한 중요하다. 하지만 현재 연구 및 개발된 재활용 외골격 로봇은 부피와 무게가 무겁거나 제자리에서 사용해야 하는 것이 대부분이다. 따라서 착용에 용이하고 사용자에게 중량이 부담되지 않는 웨어러블 로봇이 필요하므로 경량화된 전동식 재활용 웨어러블 로봇 손을 제안하였다. 3D프린터를 사용하여 무게와 부피를 줄이고 착용에 용이하도록 설계를 진행하였다. 또한, 휴대성을 높이기 위해 공압 방식이 아닌 모터기반의 전동방식을 채택해 구조를 간단하게 구성하였다. 최종적으로 경량화된 전동식 재활용 웨어러블 로봇 손의 실험을 통해 제안한 방식의 효용성을 검토하였다.

본 논문은 착용형 근력지원 로봇의 경량화를 위하여 CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) 복합재료의 적용 설계와 유한요소해석을 이용한 안전성 평가 내용을 기술하였다. 금속재 프레임으로 제작된 착용형 근력지원 로봇에 대하여 탄소섬유 복합소재로 대체하였고, 적용 재료에 대하여 ASTM을 기준으로 인장, 압축 그리고 전단시험을 통하여 해석적 평가를 위한 기계적 물성시험을 수행 하였다. 구조해석 결과를 이용하여 설계된 경량 착용형 근력지원 로봇의 메인 프레임 및 대퇴부 프레임은 경량 설계의 설계요구조건을 만족하였으며 제작된 로봇이 기존 금속재 프레임 대비 경량화 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we propose a methodology for classifying types of lower limb disability and their mechanical structure, based on extensive survey of previous developments. We also propose a task-oriented design with human-friendly and energy-efficient assistive system. The result can be used for optimal design of wearable walking-assistive robot considering the type of disability and the content of task.

Intelligent Wearable Module is intelligent system that arises when a human is part of the feedback loop of a computational process like a certain control system. Applied system is mobile robot. This paper represents the mobile robot control system remote controlled by Intelligent Wearable Module. So far, owing to the development of 802.l1b technologies, lots of remote control methods through internet have been proposed. To control a mobile robot through internet and guide it under unknown environment. The information about the direction and velocity of the mobile robot feedbacks to the PDA and the PDA send new control method produced from the combination of Neuro and Hierarchical Fuzzy Algorithm
