Abstract :
To move independently is very important for people with walking disability, thus, so is the development of walking assistance robotic-suit. To make this happen, a compact and simple control theory, which predicts walking motion was proposed based on strategies derived from present biped walking technologies. Currently, a trial product is being developed to verify this walking assistance theory, and this paper is the first introduction on our robotic-suit.
