A walking assistance device deformable based on a thigh shape includes a hip joint actuator, an upper thigh frame connected to the hip joint actuator and configured to receive power from the hip joint actuator and rotate about a first axis and rotate about a second axis intersecting the first axis, a motion frame connected to the upper thigh frame, the motion frame including a plurality of segment frames configured to rotate relative to each other, and a lower thigh frame connected to the motion frame.

Walking assistant device deformable based on thigh shape

A control method of a walking assistance apparatus is disclosed. The control method of the walking assistance apparatus includes estimating an operable time of the walking assistance apparatus based on an amount of remaining power and power consumption of the walking assistance apparatus, determining whether the operable time satisfies a preset criterion, and generating a torque profile based on an algorithm of a power saving mode when the preset criterion is satisfied.

Walking assistance device and control method of walking assistance device

A holder for a wearable device such as an exercise assistance device where the holder may include: a main rod; a sliding rod capable of sliding with respect to the main rod; a gripper including a gripper base, which is connected to the sliding rod and can support an exercise assistance device, a gripper head, which is connected to the upper side of the gripper base and can face the rear surface of the exercise assistance device, and a gripper arm rotatably connected to the gripper head; and a control unit for controlling the operation of the gripper, wherein the gripper base rotates with respect to the sliding rod and tilts forward if the exercise assistance device is put on the gripper base, and the control unit can move the gripper arm so that at least a portion of the gripper arm can cover the front surface of the exercise assistance device.

Holder for exercise assistance device

A joint assembly may include a first rolling cam that includes a first cam portion, and a first extension extending from the first cam portion, and a second rolling cam that includes a second cam portion to be in contact with the first cam portion, and a second extension extending from the second cam portion.
