行動輔助機器人
簡介 Introductions

本技術開發適用脊椎完全損傷者之穿載式外骨骼機器人,透過行動輔助機器人的動力輔助,協助傷友重獲站立、坐下、平路行走、上下樓梯與斜坡的能力;機器人輕量化之設計,考量減少使用者行走時手部的負擔並提升隨身攜帶的可行性。

With assistance of exoskeleton robot, people with the spinal cord injury can stand up, sit down, and walk on flat floors, upstairs or downstairs, and ramps. The portability of the exoskeleton robot is promising, and the efforts of the human arms in walking can be relieved by the design of minimizing weight of the robot.

特色與創新 Characters and Innovations

  • 脊損傷友行走功能部分或完全喪失,無法自主行動,下肢運動減少,影響生理代謝功能,增加醫療需求;且傷友與外界互動減少,影響自我與社會認同心理。
  • 全球脊損傷有約700萬人,每年增加人數為35萬人,平均發生年齡27歲,社會成本每人超過100萬美元。
  • People with spinal cord injury (SCI) who have walking disability decrease in mobility and quality of life.
  • There are around 7 million people with SCI in the world and 350 thousands increasing per year. This phenomenon leads to huge social impact of medical welfare.
  • 動力式關節設計讓機器人結構薄型化,更適用於日常生活空間。
  • 特殊鞋底設計,讓使用者重心能自然前傾,提升行走穩定性。
  • 具有遙控裝置,讓使用者能自行選擇想要的動作模式。
  • 可提供站立、坐下、平路行走、上下樓梯與斜坡。
  • People with spinal cord injury (SCI) who have walking disability decrease in mobility and quality of life.
  • There are around 7 million people with SCI in the world and 350 thousands increasing per year. This phenomenon leads to huge social impact of medical welfare.
  • 輕薄化設計,厚度為7 cm,含電池重量20 kg為同規格身障行動輔助機器人中最輕,更適合與日常生活環境結合。
  • 腰部開闔設計,可讓傷友獨立完成穿/卸戴之輔具機器人(約4~7分鐘)。
  • Mechanical design of drive on joints achieved the light-weight mechanism for the exoskeleton robot.
  • The shoes are specially designed to naturally tilt the human user to keep his/her body balanced while he/she is walking.
  • A human user could choose his/her motion mode via an onboard remote controller.
  • The motion modes provided by the lightweight exoskeleton robotic suits include standing-up, sitting-down, and walking on even floors, upstairs/ downstairs, and ramps.

 應用與效益 Applications and Benefits

  • 協助國內傳統輔具業者建立高階產品研發能量,提升輔具產業國際競爭力。
  • 增加脊損傷友自主活動能力,擴大日常生活範圍,提升社會參與能力。
  • The weight of the robot (including battery) is 20 kgw which is useful for the SCI people to use.
  • Users can take the robot on and off without any other people’s assistance within 4 to 7 minutes.
