Abstract:
A wearable apparatus recognizes an exercise move of a user based on motion information of the user, determines torque reference information based on a result of the recognizing, determines torque command information based on the determined torque reference information and a predetermined factor, and outputs a torque based on the determined torque command information.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for assisting walking of a user is provided. Information related to a motion of a user wearing a walking assistance apparatus is measured by an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a gait phase of the user corresponding to the measured information is predicted using data learned in advance through machine learning, an assistance torque to be provided to the user is determined based on the predicted gait phase, and a driver is controlled to output the assistance torque.
Abstract:
A control method and apparatus for a turning walking receives sensor information, recognizes a turning walking of a user based on the sensor information, and adjusts at least one control parameter to assist the turning walking.
Abstract:
Provided is a torque output timing adjustment method and apparatus, wherein an assistance power provided by a walking assistance apparatus is determined based on an output assistance power and a joint angle rate, a pattern of a joint angle rate varies for each user based on a gait pattern varying for each user, and an assistance torque provided to a user is adjusted in response to an adjustment of a torque output timing.
Abstract:
A method for estimating a walking index of a user, and/or an electronic device and a wearable device for performing the same. The electronic device may include: a communication module for receiving sensor data including movement information of a user wearing the wearable device from the wearable device; a processor(s) for estimating a walking index indicating a walking state of the user on the basis of the sensor data; and a display module for outputting physical ability information including the walking index. The processor(s) may estimate the user's walking speed by using a walking speed estimation model which takes the sensor data as an input, and may estimate the user's step time on the basis of the sensor data, and estimate another walking index on the basis of the walking speed and the step time.
Abstract:
A wearable fitness/exercise/assistance apparatus using at least an elastic cable. The wearable apparatus may include a base plate to be worn on the back of a user, a wearing band connected to the base plate, a driving module including a module case provided to the base plate to be detachable, a motor disposed inside the module case, an inelastic cable connected to the motor, and an elastic cable connected to the inelastic cable, and a wearing part to be worn on the body of the user and connected to the elastic cable, wherein the elastic cable may have a length that changes when the inelastic cable is moved by the motor. In addition, various embodiments are possible.
Abstract:
To control tension of a string of a tension control apparatus, a target operation mode of the tension control apparatus may be received, a first tension value may be generated by measuring tension of a string connected to a sensor using the sensor, a first control signal for controlling a motor connected to the string may be generated based on the first tension value and the target operation mode, and tension of the string may be controlled by controlling the motor based on the first control signal.
Abstract:
A balance training method using a wearable device, and the wearable device are disclosed. The balance training method using the wearable device configured to provide a walking assist function includes executing a balance training mode of the wearable device and supplying an irregular pattern torque to an actuator of the wearable device at a time point or in a time period in the balance training mode.
