| Abstract | At present, there are many useful and potential developments to help the disability people to do many activities that they're willing to do but they can't. The walking disability is one disease that causes these people to become a bedridden person and lose their muscle function. This thesis is to develop a right leg-exoskeleton which can help the right-leg disability person to walk again. This robot has been designed to be attached on the lower limb of human and mimic the movement of the left leg that still have normal function following the captured data from these leg. There is 6 degree of freedoms of right leg, three passive joints and 3 active joints. The left leg mechanism is simple design to capture walking parameter and there are 3 rotational joints. Rotary sensors are attached on both leg mechanisms in order to capture the changing in angle. The pressure sensor is used to detect the pressure of left heel. Microcontroller is used to control the robot and communicate with PC in order to send the useful walking data for later analysis |
