摘要： An environment-aware prediction and control framework, which incorporates learned environment and terrain features into a predictive model for human-robot symbiotic walking, is disclosed herein. First, a compact deep neural network is introduced for accurate and efficient prediction of pixel-level depth maps from RGB inputs. In turn, this methodology reduces the size, weight, and cost of the necessary hardware, while adding key features such as close-range sensing, filtering, and temporal consistency. In combination with human kinematics data and demonstrated walking gaits, the extracted visual features of the environment are used to learn a probabilistic model coupling perceptions to optimal actions. The resulting data-driven controllers. Bayesian Interaction Primitives, can be used to infer in real-time optimal control actions for a lower-limb prosthesis. The inferred actions naturally take the current state of the environment and the user into account during walking.

摘要： A wearable device for assisting in the movement of lower limbs that includes an anchor component configured to encircle the torso of a user and be supported by the shoulders through a harness/suspender that provides both postural support and proprioceptive input. The wearable device may have one or more elastic cords disposed on the anchor component and a means for aligning the one or more elastic cords. Each cord may have a first and second attachment component on each end, which may attach to a first shoe and a second shoe of the user. Lowering the cord end by the attachment component may cause the other cord end to rise.

摘要： An electronic device may: set a target heart rate for a user wearing a wearable device (e.g., walking assist device); receive information of the user's current heart rate; determine, on the basis of the current heart rate and the target heart rate, target exercise load such that the user's heart rate can correspond to the target heart rate; and control the wearable device such that the target exercise load is provided to the user. Various other embodiments may also be possible.

摘要： A motorized tensioning mechanism for orthotic devices, such as a knee brace, wherein the controls for the motorized tensioning mechanism may be manual, automatic, or a hybrid of both. Sensors associated with the orthotic device may inform the user regarding tension or other aspects of the device, and, in cases, may automatically adjust tension in the motorized tensioning mechanism.

摘要： An anterior rolling walker has a ground support frame, a vertical riser assembly, a torso support assembly and an actuator apparatus which allows a user to raise the torso support assembly from a first lowered position to a second raised position, and to anyone of a plurality of positions there between. The lift mechanism utilizes a single telescoping riser assembly which is positioned offset from the front of the walker, such that there is minimal structure to the front of the user, allowing the user to ambulate directly to (and make physical contact with) tables, desks, refrigerators, loved ones, and the like.

摘要： A walk-about exoskeleton system can comprise an exoskeleton and a walk-about platform in support of the exoskeleton. The walk-about platform can be maneuverable about a ground surface. The walk-about platform can comprise a conveyance system operable with the walk-about platform. The conveyance system can be operable to facilitate movement of the walk-about platform about the ground surface. The walk-about platform can also comprise a bi-pedal locomotion zone defined, at least in part, by the walk-about platform. The bi-pedal locomotion zone can provide clearance for bi-pedal locomotion of an operator donning the exoskeleton.
