报告摘要:
As the global ageing predictions become reality, assistive exoskeletons are being increasingly considered as future aids to help elderly persons staying active in their daily living tasks. By deploying such assistive aids, elderly persons are expected to be able to live independently with improved quality of life.
In the talk, design and development of assistive exoskeletons, namely, the AXO-SUIT, are described. The AXO-SUIT is a project (www.axo-suit.eu) funded by the European Commission under the Ambient Assisted Living Joint Programme Initiative Call 6. The project aims to develop the core technologies and prototype products of wearable exoskeletons to provide comprehensive physical assistance in mobility, object handling and grasping for the elderly. In the talk, development work on novel mechanism design, biomechanics modeling for physical human-robot interaction, system development and end-user involvement etc are introduced and discussed.
