助力型下肢外骨骼机器人现状及展望

Status and prospects of the lower extremity exoskeleton robots for human power augmentation

助力型下肢外骨骼机器人是模仿人体下肢运动、增强穿戴者运动能力的智能机器人装置,可以在灾难现场救援、野外施工及军事用途等车辆无法通行的环境中发挥作用。通过分析国内外下肢助力型外骨骼机器人的研究现状,指出目前国内研究仍处于理论分析和实验室测试阶段。提出了助力型下肢外骨骼机器人研究的关键技术,并对助力型外骨骼机器人的发展趋势进行了展望。

The lower extremity exoskeleton used for human power augmentation is an intelligent robotic device that imitates the movement of the wearer to improvehis capacity of load-carrying, walking speed and duration. Therefore it is an important tool in rescuing, field manipulating and military applications. In this paper, the state-of-the-art prototype development at home and abroad is analyzed, which reveals that the domestic research is still in the theoretical analysis and laboratory test stage. A review on the key techniques of the lower extremity exoskeletons is presented. Some developing trends are stated at the end of this paper.
