As an emerging field of robotics, much attention has been paid for the development of exoskeleton robots to help the elderly and the disabled. Now a days, the application area has been extended such that exoskeletons to assist an expert working in a disastrous environment or in a military field are actively developed.</p><p>Difficulties in designing an exoskeleton robot result from the fact that it should be worn by human operator: Safety is of paramount importance, and it should be light and compact in order to minimize any burdens imposed on the operator by the exoskeleton itself. Furthermore, in order to follow the operator’s motion fast and seamlessly, the robust and precise measure of the wearer’s intention is required.</p><p>The first topic of this seminar is about the design of an upper-limb power assistance robot. It was developed for the elderly and the disabled, and design efforts were focused on the wrist and hand exoskeleton modules. The next topic deals with my current research, the development of a lower-limb exoskeleton to assist backpack loads of a soldier during military operations. In this topic, the overview of the project is introduced; and then details will be given for the design approaches to develop 1) novel and energy efficient joint mechanisms and 2) compact foot sensor to measure the ground reaction force</p><p><strong><br></strong></p>
