Provided is a power transmitting device including an input side gear assembly that includes a single power input terminal and two power output terminals, an output side gear assembly that includes two power input terminals and a single power output terminal, the two power input terminals configured to operate using power received from the two power output terminals of the input side gear assembly, respectively, and a stopper module configured to block power to be transmitted through one of two power transmitting paths connecting the two power output terminals of the input side gear assembly and the two power input terminals of the output side gear assembly.
Abstract:
Driving modules, motion assistance apparatuses including at least one of the driving modules, and methods of controlling at least one of the motion assistance apparatuses may be provided. For example, a driving module including a driving source on one side of a user and configured to transmit power, an input side rotary body coupled to the driving source and configured to rotate, first and second decelerators configured to operate using the power respectively received from the driving source through the input side rotary body, and a first stopper and a second stopper configured to selectively enable or disable a transmission of the power between the input side rotary body and respective output terminals of the first and second decelerators may be provided.
Abstract:
Example embodiments relate to a link assembly and a leg supporting apparatus using the same. A top end of a frame mounted on a user's thigh can move along a downwardly-concave trajectory. A center of weight of the leg supporting apparatus placed on the top end of the frame converges on a lowest point of the downwardly-concave trajectory so that the user's weight can be stably supported.
Abstract:
Provided are a connecting module and a motion assistance apparatus including the same, the connecting module including a case provided to incline downward from a space recessed between a waist and a hip of a user to a hip joint of the user, a power transmitting assembly disposed in an internal portion of the case, and a supporting module connecting portion disposed at an output terminal of the power transmitting assembly and to be fastened with a supporting module that supports a leg of the user.
Abstract:
Provided are a fixing module and a motion assistance apparatus including the same, the fixing module including a base body, a plurality of side frames provided on both sides of the base body, and a height adjustment assembly provided on the base body, and on which a driving module is mounted to provide a power, wherein a distance between the plurality of side frames may be adjustable.
Abstract:
A supporting module may include: a supporting frame configured to support an action part of an object; a pressure member connected to the supporting frame and configured to push the action part to rotate when the supporting frame rotates in a first direction; a supporting member configured to pull the action part to rotate when the supporting frame rotates in a second direction; and/or a dispersion member, between the pressure member and the supporting member, configured to disperse force transmitted from the pressure member in a direction perpendicular to a direction of the transmitted force and configured to transmit the dispersed force to the supporting member.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A driving module including a driving source configured to generate power, a gear train including a decelerating gear set configured to receive driving power from the driving source and a ring gear attached to one side thereof, and a rotary joint including at least one planetary gear configured to rotate using power received from an output end of the decelerating gear set and to revolve along the ring gear is disclosed.
Abstract:
A method is performed by an electronic device that includes antenna modules AM1 and AM2. The method includes: while transmitting or receiving through AM1, receiving a specified wireless signal through AM1 and AM2; identifying a first signal quality for the specified wireless signal of AM1 and a second signal quality for the specified wireless signal of AM2; and in response to determining that a difference between the first signal quality and the second signal quality is within a specified signal quality range and that a rank of a wireless channel through which the specified wireless signal is received is two or more, selecting an antenna module to transmit or receive a wireless signal, from among AM1 and AM2, based on first channel information about AM1 and second channel information about AM2. The method includes transmitting or receiving the wireless signal using the selected antenna module.
