Evaluation of Indoor Walking Support Device with Upper Rotation mechanism and Viscosity-changeable Break System

摘要

The goal of this study is to develop a robotic supporting device for the elderly in an indoor environment. In this paper, an overall mechanism design and system configuration of the proposed device and Viscosity-changeable Break System was described. This device has four types, standby mode, driving mode, rotation mode, and warning mode. At power-on, it makes standby mode. Then, It becomes a Driving mode Walking for two-hand control SW is pressed, Rotation mode is pressed Upper rotation release SW. When walking, it's an emergency stop become more than set speed.
