Abstract:
Disclosed are a walking assistance robot and a method of controlling the walking assistance robot. The control method includes collecting motion information by sensing or measuring a motion of at least one joint, determining a motion state of the at least one joint based on the sensed or measured motion of the at least one joint, and controlling the walking assistance robot based on the determined motion state of the at least one joint.
Abstract:
A robot may include: a multi-tool module having redundancy, the multi-tool module including a guide tube and a plurality of tools configured to operate while interacting with the guide tube and extended from the guide tube; and/or a controller configured to generate a control signal regarding motion of the multi-tool module in a joint space based on motion instruction information regarding distal ends of the plurality of tools in a task space. The redundancy may reflect that a number of degrees of freedom of the multi-tool module in the joint space is greater than a number of degrees of freedom of the task space. The control signal may be generated using the redundancy.
Abstract:
A robot and method of controlling the robot, the method including setting a target walking motion of the robot using an X-axis displacement, a y-axis displacement, and a z-axis rotation of a robot base, detecting and processing data of a position, a speed and a gradient of the robot base, a z-axis external force exerted on the foot, and a position, an angle, and a speed of each rotation joint using sensors, setting a support state and a coordination system of the robot, processing a state of the robot, performing an adaptive control by generating a target walking trajectory of the robot according to the target walking motion when a supporting leg of the robot is changed, setting a state machine representing a walking trajectory of the robot, and controlling a walking and a balancing of the robot by tracing the state machine that is set.

Abstract:
A walking assistance device may include at least one walking assistance unit configured to assist a user in walking; and/or a controller configured to control, based on a walk pattern of the user, the at least one walking assistance unit to produce torque only in at least one assistance period needing walking assistance in a walk cycle. A method of controlling walking assistance may include: calculating a walking assistance time using a difference between a start time and a termination time of an assistance period needing the walking assistance in a walk pattern; and/or assisting a user in walking when the assistance period begins, by producing torque for the walking assistance time.
