Abstract:
A walking assistance method may include receiving at least one abnormal gait type selected from a plurality of abnormal gait types, and differently controlling a walking assistance apparatus based on the at least one abnormal gait type.
Abstract:
A battery pack for providing different power sources may include: a low voltage battery configured to supply a first voltage; a high voltage battery configured to supply a second voltage, the second voltage being higher than the first voltage; a charging circuit configured to charge the low voltage battery using the high voltage battery; and/or a controller configured to control the charging circuit to charge the low voltage battery when a charge state of the low voltage battery is less than a desired charge state.
Abstract:
A master device for surgical robots may comprise: handle units, each of which includes at least one multi-joint robot finger configured to control a robotic surgical instrument on a robot arm of a slave device; and/or a micro motion generation unit configured to generate a control signal to control an end of the at least one multi-joint robot finger so as to move along a virtual trajectory. A master device for surgical robots may comprise: a first unit that comprises at least one multi-joint robot finger on a robot arm of a slave device; and/or a second unit configured to generate a first control signal to control the at least one multi-joint robot finger so as to move along a virtual trajectory.
Abstract:
A walking assistance device deformable based on a thigh shape includes a hip joint actuator, an upper thigh frame connected to the hip joint actuator and configured to receive power from the hip joint actuator and rotate about a first axis and rotate about a second axis intersecting the first axis, a motion frame connected to the upper thigh frame, the motion frame including a plurality of segment frames configured to rotate relative to each other, and a lower thigh frame connected to the motion frame.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling a walking assistance apparatus are provided. The apparatus may include a detector configured to detect a first step of a user, based on measured right and left hip joint angle information, a reconstructor unit configured to reconstruct knee joint information matched to the right and left hip joint angle information based on knee joint trajectory information in response to the user's steps, and a torque generator configured to generate a first torque applied to a first leg corresponding to the first step. The torque generator may generate the first torque, based on a second torque applied to a second leg that is opposite to the first leg and that corresponds to a second step preceding the first step.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for recognizing a motion of a user are provided. The apparatus may map each of right leg angle information and left leg angle information to context information by comparing each of the right leg angle information and left leg angle information to a comparison value and/or preset threshold, may generate a motion event corresponding to the context information based on a criterion, and may recognize the motion of the user based on the motion event and a previous motion of the user.
Abstract:
Provided is an assisting torque setting apparatus and method, wherein the apparatus is configured to calculate an evaluation value of at least one index based on gait data of a user, set a stable assisting torque based on the evaluation value, set a basic assisting torque corresponding to a gait motion of the user based on the gait data, and set a final assisting torque based on the stable assisting torque and the basic assisting torque.
Abstract:
An insole may include an insole body in a shape receivable in a shoe; an electronic element provided in the insole body; a connection line configured to electrically connect to the electronic element and including a contact terminal exposed to the outside of the insole body; and a connector including a detachable member configured to at least partially protrude outward from the insole body and configured to support the contact terminal.
