| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, we have successfully developed a new compliant-parallel mechanism that has a two springs parallelly located and showed its feasibility. The advantages of presented system are: 1. The proposed mechanism deforms according to the wearer’s motion along with the body surface thus not prohibit the user’s motion. 2. The intrinsic spring flexibility avoids the excess load to the wearer’s limb. 3. The spring flexibility also plays a key role to avoid the excess force even the joint center is moving -which is often a major issue for a rigid mechanism.
