본 연구에서는 근전도 신호를 이용하여 보행주기에 따른 패턴 및 특징을 시간영역과 주파수영역으로 나누어 분석하였다. 보행주기를 입각기와 유각기로 나누어 평지보행과 계단보행 실험을 실시하여 그 결과를 분석하였으며, 이때 시상면에서의 하퇴부 각도와 대퇴사두근과 대퇴이두근의 근전도 신호를 대상으로 하였다. 하퇴부의 기울기는 모든 보행에서 HS일 때 가장 큰 기울기 값을 나타내었으며, TO일 때 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 시간영역에서의 근전도 분석은 모든 보행에서 보행주기에 따라 IEMG가 일정한 패턴을 보였으며, 보행 종류 및 주기 판단에 가장 용이할 것으로 판단된다. 주파수영역에서의 분석은 시간에 따른 주파수 분석이 가능한 STFT법을 사용하였으며, 기울기센서를 이용하여 보행주기를 구분하고자 하였다. 또한 STFT한 결과를 스펙트럼으로 나타내어 분석하였으며, 모든 보행에서 입각기가 유각기보다 더 높은 주파수를 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 근전도와 시상면에서의 하퇴부 기울기를 이용하여 보행주기 판단 및 분석의 가능성을 확인하였으며, 이를 활용하면 하지 절단환자의 보행의지를 판단하여 의족제어 및 효율적 재활에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify the muscle activity of leg during stair down in the subjects with flatfoot and normal foot. Methods : The fourteen subjects with the flatfoot group and the fifteen subjects with the normal foot group volunteered for this study. All subjects descended the stairs that the height was 20cm and consisted 25 stairs. The target muscles for recording muscle activity were posterior fiber of gluteus medius, vastus medialis and vastus lateralis oblique, semitendinosus and biceps femoris, tibialis anterior, and medial and lateral fiber of gastrocnemius muscles. The muscle activity was recorded using the wireless EMG system. Results : The flatfoot group had significantly lower the muscle activity of posterior fiber of gluteus medius than the normal foot group in stance phase during stair down(p<.05). The flatfoot group had significantly higher the muscle activity of biceps femoris and tibialis anterior than the normal foot group in swing phase during stair down(p<.05). Conclusions : This study proposed that the subject with flatfoot should train the strengthening exercise for posterior fiber of gluteus medius.

본 논문은 사족 보행 로봇에 대한 내고장성 걸음새의 안정여유도를 개선하는 방법을 논한다. 기존에 제안되었던 재고장성 걸음새는 사족 보행 로봇이 다리 고장이 발생한 후에도 보행을 계속할 수 있게 하였다. 하지만 내고장성 걸음새가 임계 안정여유도를 가지므로 몸체 무게중심의 위치가 순차적으로 바뀔 때에는 걸음새가 불안정해질 수 있다는 약점을 지니고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 약점을 극복하기 위해서 양(陽)으로 안정여유도를 가지는 내고장성 걸음새를 관절고착고장에 대해서 제안한다. 관절고착고장은 로봇 다리의 관절 하나가 한 지점에 고착되어 더 이상 움직일 수 없는 상태를 말한다. 양의 안정여유도는 걸음새 동작 과정에서 한 다리가 이동하기 전에 지지 다리들의 위치를 조정함으로써 얻어질 수 있다. 제안된 걸음새의 우수성을 입증하기 위해서 안정여유도, 보폭 등의 매개 변수들을 중심으로 기존 걸음새와 성능 비교를 수행한다.

In this paper, gait generation algorithm based on Linear Inverted Pendulum Mode is extended considering that the terrain is uncertain and flexible. Deformation of the soft terrain by the weight of the biped robot is taken into account to design the desired motion of the swing leg. Landing time disagreement caused by dynamics of the robot is also considered and a method to adjust gait is proposed. Results of numerical simulation show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, we generate a trajectory minimized the energy gait of a biped robot for walking a staircase using genetic algorithms and apply to the computed torque controller for the stable dynamic biped locomotion. In the saggital plane, a 6 degree of freedom biped robot that model consists of seven links is used. In order to minimize the total energy efficiency, the Real-Coded Genetic Algorithm (RCGA) is used. Operators of genetic algorithms are composed of a reproduction, crossover and mutation. In order to approximate the walking gait, the each joint angle is defined as a 4-th order polynomial of which coefficients are chromosomes. Constraints are divided into equality and inequality. Firstly, equality constraints consist of position conditions at the end of stride period and each joint angle and angular velocity condition for periodic walking. On the other hand, inequality constraints include the knee joint conditions, the zero moment point conditions for the x-direction and the tip conditions of swing leg during the period of a stride for walking a staircase.

This hybrid position/force control for the dynamic walking of the biped robot is performed in this paper. After the biped robot was modeled with 14 degrees of freedom of the multibody dynamics, the equations of motion are constructed using velocity transformation technique. Then the inverse dynamic analysis is performed for determining the driving torques and the ground reaction forces. From this analysis, obtains the maximum ground contact force at the moment of contacting which act on the rear of the sole of swing leg and the distribution curve of the ground reaction. Because these maximum force and distribution type acts an important role to the stability of the whole dynamic walking, they are reduced and distributed smoothly by means of the trajectory of the modified ground reaction force. This new trajectory is used to the reference input for more stable dynamic walking of the whole walking region.

We proposed the above-knee prosthesis using rotary MR damper in which knee joint is semi-actively controlled by microprocessor. Dissipation torque in the knee joint can be controlled by the magnetic field which is induced by applying current to a solenoid, Tracking control of knee joint angle was tested by 3-DOF Leg simulator. The experimental results show that the proposed above-knee prosthesis system had good performance in swing phase tracking and repetitive controller in conjunction with a computed control law and PD control law, reduced RMS tracking error as the repetitions of tracking. Moreover, desired knee angle trajectory was generated based on the estimation of gait period with the gyro signal and the tracking control was performed.

This paper is concerned with an energy optimization for the walking of IWR biped robot. The movement of balancing joints are determined by ZMP(Zero Moment Point) and dynamic properties caused by motion of a swing leg. Therefore, ZMP positions have an important role in walking and guarnateeing the stability of a robot. A genetic algorithm is utilized for solving this problem and finding ZMP with a minimum energy at each sampling time during the walk. In this study, we performed an energy optimization with desired ZMP trajectories and motion of balancing joints.

This paper deals with the trajectory planning of IWR biped robot using genetic algorithm. The trajectory of a swing leg is generated by 5th order polynomial equation. Velocities and Acceleration properties on a viapoints are needed. These constants are given by heuristic method. The optimal values are determined by G.A to minimize the jerk of a trajectory. As a result, trajectory planning is implemented not on between two viapoints but on a whole interval. Efficient numerical calculation routines and walking algorithms for simulation are accomplished by MATLAB package.

The purpose of this study was to analyze, from a kinematical point of view, the high jump techniques of three women's high jump winners at the IAAF World Championships, Daegu 2011. The trends for the techniques of the world's top high jumpers were examined, with a view toward adapting these techniques to the physical characteristics of Korean women's high jumpers. It was valuable that Di Martino, who was the shortest in height, was able to win a medal by using a single arm swing take-off technique, along with a half flexed leading leg swing to attain a deep arch and clear the bar. This showed that the world's top athletes used jumping techniques with no decrease in the run-up velocity at the take-off. Furthermore, It appeared that the knee joint angle at take-off had a direct effect on the body position at take-off (H1).
