Outline of Final Research Achievements

Although various wearable robots have been developed, the walking speed is too slow to use in the daily lives. In this study we developed (1) motion planning algorithm to assist walking, (2) cooperative control system to adjust stride and walking speed by the user. The leg motion of robot is planned on the basis of optimization and the planned walking pattern is twice as fast as the previous walking pattern. the motion planning algorithm was applied for the cooperative control that the user can adjust the stride length and walking speed by the his/her movements. By using the novel control system, user's could walk continuously while adjusting thier walking patterns by themselves.
