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.

Speaker Biography

Shaoping Bai is an Associate Professor at the department of Materials and

Production, Aalborg University (AAU), Denmark. His research interests

include assistive robots, parallel manipulators, walking robots, dynamics

and design. He is one of the founders of Centre for Robotics Research
