Abstract:
In Japan, robotic systems for rehabilitation or assistance of the elderly and the disabled people are actively studied recently. In developing rehabilitation/assistive robots, safety is one of the most important issues, since the robots work very closely to the users or worn by the users. Parallel wire mechanisms have prospects of giving solutions to safety issues on rehabilitation robots. In this paper, the author takes a look back on her studies on motion assist devices using parallel wire mechanisms and discusses advantages and disadvantages of the motion assist devices using parallel wire mechanisms.
