Abstract:
A joint assembly may include a first rolling cam that includes a first cam portion, and a first extension extending from the first cam portion, and a second rolling cam that includes a second cam portion to be in contact with the first cam portion, and a second extension extending from the second cam portion.
Abstract:
A wearable device capable of outputting a torque on a user is provided. The wearable device includes a motor, a motor driver circuit, a communication circuit for receiving movement information about a first user from a server or an electronic device, a frame connected to the motor, and worn on a body part of a second user so as to support the lower body, a sensor, and a processor for controlling the motor driver circuit so that motion information about the second user is obtained using the sensor, the difference between the obtained motion information and the received motion information is calculated, torque strength is determined based on the calculated difference, and a torque of a determined torque strength is output by the motor.
Abstract:
A control method of a walking assistance apparatus is disclosed. The control method of the walking assistance apparatus includes estimating an operable time of the walking assistance apparatus based on an amount of remaining power and power consumption of the walking assistance apparatus, determining whether the operable time satisfies a preset criterion, and generating a torque profile based on an algorithm of a power saving mode when the preset criterion is satisfied.
Abstract:
A force transmitting frame may have a length greater than a width. Stiffnesses of first and second end portions of the force transmitting frame may be greater than a stiffness of a central area of the force transmitting frame in a longitudinal direction of the force transmitting frame. The force transmitting frame may include: an inner frame configured to support one side of a user; and/or an outer frame of which first and second end portions are fixed to first and second end portions of the inner frame, and of which a central portion is not fixed to a central portion of the inner frame. The central portion of the outer frame may be configured to slide with respect to the central portion of the inner frame.
Abstract:
A walking assistance device deformable based on a thigh shape includes a hip joint actuator, an upper thigh frame connected to the hip joint actuator and configured to receive power from the hip joint actuator and rotate about a first axis and rotate about a second axis intersecting the first axis, a motion frame connected to the upper thigh frame, the motion frame including a plurality of segment frames configured to rotate relative to each other, and a lower thigh frame connected to the motion frame.
Abstract:
A supporter for a wearable exercise apparatus may include a main body; a pair of main frames connected to the main body; a pair of straps connected to the pair of main frames, respectively; and a bistable spring which is provided inside each of the pair of the straps and maintained in one of two stable states by a restoring force. The two stable states include a first stable state in which the bistable spring has a shape extending straight along the longitudinal direction and a second stable state in which the bistable spring has a shape that is bent once. The shape of the strap may be determined according to the shape of the bistable spring.
