Assistive exoskeletons for motion assistance: Mechanism design, motion detection
and interaction control
Shaoping Bai
Aalborg University, Denmark
A
s 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 and rehabilitation systems for effectively
restoring patient’s motor functions. The exoskeletons
are also considered as useful power assistance for labor
workers in the manual work to reduce muscle fatigue and
to prevent musculoskeletal injuries. This talk is focused
on the development of assistive exoskeletons and their
applications in the motion assistance. A brief overview of
exoskeletons with their classification and applications will
be presented. The design and development challenges will
be discussed, including mechanism design, compact and
compliant actuation, human motion intention detection and
exoskeleton interaction control. In the talk, research projects
on exoskeleton at Aalborg University will be presented,
together with progresses and results newly obtained.
