A flexible exoskeleton suit to assist human movement

摘要

The motion control system includes an actuator having an actuation member, the actuation member having a proximal end attached to the actuator on the first side of the joint and a distal end attached to the anchor element attachment point on the second side of the joint. Have. The first sensor is configured to output a signal that defines a gait cycle, and the second sensor is configured to output a signal representing a tensile force within the at least one actuating member. The controller receives an output signal from the sensor during the first part of the gait cycle to actuate the actuator and applies a force greater than a predetermined threshold tensile force to the anchor element attachment point via the actuating member. Apply to generate a beneficial moment around the joint and automatically actuate the actuator.
