| Research Abstract |
In this paper, we present an omni-directional hoisting-type walking assist robot to support and enhance the comfortable life for disable or elderly people. Omni-directional driving unit, following system and hoisting system developed in this paper is provided. Comfortable walking training can be realized by omni-directional movement based on the estimating human intention. The usefulness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by experimental results using disabled people.
