| Abstract | BioRobotics, nowadays is considered as a potential direction of development. Many researchers are working hard to create the robots simulating human characteristics. The objective of the thesis is to develop a leg-exoskeleton. This robot could become a necessary tool for anyone who needs to travel long distances by foot with a heavy load. The exoskeleton has been designed in the configuration attached on lower human part and followed the human locomotion. There are twelve degrees of freedom on both robot legs including six active and six passive ones. Pneumatic actuators and 5/3 ON/OFF valves are utilized to control the motion of the exoskeleton. Rotary sensor system is constructed to detect positions of cylinders and micro controller is used to control the robot as well as communicate with computer. |
