Abstract :
This paper introduces a robotic walking and sit-to-stand support system, Smart Mobile Walker(SMW), and presents kinematic analysis of the system. For supporting person´s sit-to-stand movement, the motion of SMW is modeled by the analysis of kinematics. The results of analysis are used for simulations and its feasibility is investigated by simulations. The feasibility shows our analysis of kinematics can be applied as a base of making optimal motion trajectory for helping sit-to-stand.
