Design and Evaluation of the Unmanned Technology Research Centre Exoskeleton (UTRCEXO)

Abstract:

In this paper, we present an exoskeleton called the Unmanned Technology Research Centre Exoskeleton (UTRCEXO), which utilizes a shadow walking assistance mechanism. The shadow walking assistance mechanism shadows the operators walking after visible movements by the operator, such as a heel-off event or a toe-off event. The UTRCEXO determines the operators walking intention with the toe-off event, when the toe leaves the ground, and then shadows the operators walking. The UTRCEXO implementing the shadow walking assistance mechanism shadows the first step of the operator immediately.
