WALKING ASSISTANCE METHOD AND APPARATUSES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18218388 Titled 'WALKING ASSISTANCE METHOD AND APPARATUSES'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes a method and apparatus for assisting individuals with walking. The method involves measuring the user's walking motion and using that information to define a state variable. Based on this state variable, a torque profile is generated, which can either assist the user's walking motion or provide resistance to it. The torque profile is determined by factors such as the defined state variable, a gain, and a delay.
Original Abstract Submitted
A walking assistance method and/or apparatuses configured to perform same are provided. A state variable may be defined based on a result obtained by measuring a gait motion of a user, and a torque profile may be generated based on the defined state variable, a gain and a delay. The generated torque profile may correspond to a torque profile to assist the gait motion, or a torque profile to provide a resistance to the gait motion.
