A Human-Computer Interaction Scheme of Lower-Limb Power-Assist Flexible Robot

Abstract

Wearable flexible walking assist robot can be used to improve the walking state of the senior citizens. This paper proposes to develop an intelligent wearable flexible walking assist robot. It is a human mechanical and electrical system which is worn by subjects and provides walking assistance for users through computer control, perception system, information collection, human-computer interface and other technologies. The device can understand the movement intention of the subjects according to the hip joint angle collected by the gyroscope, which improves the universality of the device for different groups of people. With good human-computer coordination ability, it can effectively assist the senior citizens to walk and play an important role in rehabilitation training, maintain and restore the ability of the elderly to walk out independently, and improve the quality of life of the elderly.
