We propose a novel exoskeleton robot aimed at rehabilitation on biped walking or postural control for elderly persons, spinal cord injury, or stroke patients.
By combining pneumatic muscles with electric motors, the robot works not only as a lightweight, torque controllable prosthesis for lower extremities and trunk, but also an autonomous robot that can compliantly balance itself.
This paper repots the hardware overview of the new robot and describes a model identification method which utilizes the characteristics of the hybrid drive under simple full-body force control. Some fundamental experiments on its joint drive testbed are also presented. |
