20150272764 | LINK ASSEMBLY, FRAME, AND WALKING ASSISTANCE ROBOT - A frame configured of a plurality of links pivotally connected to one another is flexibly bent, and pins that connect the plurality of links that constitute the frame are inserted into and slide in a curve-shaped slot and a slot in a vertical direction so that, even though the frame is bent, the entire length of the frame is increased and ends of the frame can be moved along a straight line that is horizontal with respect to the ground. | 10-01-2015 |
20150272811 | JOINT ASSEMBLY AND WALKING ASSISTANCE ROBOT - In a joint assembly of a walking assistance robot that is capable of performing an operation with 3 degrees of freedom, similarly to a user's joint, a rolling motion and a sliding motion are simultaneously made, and a rotation center changes so that the joint assembly can make a similar motion to that of an actual knee joint of the user. Thus, when the user wears the walking assistance robot and walks, misalignment can be prevented from occurring in the knee joint. | 10-01-2015 |
20150335514 | DRIVING MODULES AND MOTION ASSISTANCE APPARATUSES INCLUDING THE SAME - A driving module may include: an object fix member configured to be fixed to an object; a first sub-module including a body portion, connected to a first side of the object fix member, and a first rotating member, connected rotatably to the body portion; a second sub-module including an extension link, connected to a second side of the object fix member, and a second rotating member, connected rotatably to the extension link; and/or a power transmitting member connected to the first rotating member and the second rotating member, and configured to transmit power. | 11-26-2015 |
20150335515 | WALKING ASSISTANCE APPARATUS - A walking assistance apparatus for preventing offset occurring in between a rotating axis of a hip joint of a user and a rotating shaft of the walking assistance apparatus may be provided. The walking assistance apparatus includes a waist fixing apparatus configured to be fixed to a waist of a user, a connecting guide mounted at the waist fixing apparatus and configured to slide in an extension direction of the waist fixing apparatus and rotate on a rotating shaft extending in a vertical direction perpendicular to the extension direction, a rail unit mounted at one side of the connecting guide, the rail unit extending in a vertical direction, and a hip joint configured to slide along the rail unit. | 11-26-2015 |
20150336265 | SUPPORTING MODULES AND MOTION ASSISTANCE APPARATUSES INCLUDING THE SAME - A supporting module may include: a supporting frame configured to support an action part of an object; a pressure member connected to the supporting frame and configured to push the action part to rotate when the supporting frame rotates in a first direction; a supporting member configured to pull the action part to rotate when the supporting frame rotates in a second direction; and/or a dispersion member, between the pressure member and the supporting member, configured to disperse force transmitted from the pressure member in a direction perpendicular to a direction of the transmitted force and configured to transmit the dispersed force to the supporting member. | 11-26-2015 |
20160030271 | DRIVING MODULE AND MOTION ASSISTANCE APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME - A driving module and a motion assistance apparatus including the same may be provided. For example, the driving module including a driving source provided on one side of a user and configured to transmit power, a power transmitting rotary body configured to rotate by the power transmitted from the driving source, and a first decelerator configured to transmit power between the driving source and the power transmitting rotary body, the first decelerator having an input side rotary body configured to receive power from the driving source, and an output side rotary body configured to transmit power to the power transmitting rotary body may be provided. | 02-04-2016 |
20160038313 | DRIVING MODULE, MOTION ASSISTANCE APPARATUS INCLUDING THE DRIVING MODULE, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE MOTION ASSISTANCE APPARATUS - Driving modules, motion assistance apparatuses including at least one of the driving modules, and methods of controlling at least one of the motion assistance apparatus may be provided. For example, a driving module including a driving source on one side of a user and configured to transmit power, an input side rotary body connected to the driving source and configured to rotate, and a first decelerator and a second decelerator configured to operate using the power received from the driving source through the input side rotary body, wherein a gear ratio from the input side rotary body to an output terminal of the first decelerator differs from a gear ratio from the input side rotary body to an output terminal of the second decelerator, may be provided. | 02-11-2016 |
20160038328 | LINK ASSEMBLY AND MEMBER SUPPORTING APPARATUS USING THE SAME - Example embodiments relate to a link assembly and a leg supporting apparatus using the same. A top end of a frame mounted on a user's thigh can move along a downwardly-concave trajectory. A center of weight of the leg supporting apparatus placed on the top end of the frame converges on a lowest point of the downwardly-concave trajectory so that the user's weight can be stably supported. | 02-11-2016 |
20160038368 | DRIVING MODULE, MOTION ASSISTANCE APPARATUS INCLUDING THE DRIVING MODULE, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE MOTION ASSISTANCE APPARATUS - Driving modules, motion assistance apparatuses including at least one of the driving modules, and methods of controlling at least one of the motion assistance apparatuses may be provided. For example, a driving module including a driving source on one side of a user and configured to transmit power, an input side rotary body coupled to the driving source and configured to rotate, first and second decelerators configured to operate using the power respectively received from the driving source through the input side rotary body, and a first stopper and a second stopper configured to selectively enable or disable a transmission of the power between the input side rotary body and respective output terminals of the first and second decelerators may be provided. | 02-11-2016 |
