Abstract

In this paper, the authors propose a new design methodology for legged walking robots with dynamic characteristics suitable for walking motions by applying the unique properties of Passive Dynamic Walking as design criteria. The authors have identified the ‘adaptive behaviour’, in which the passive dynamic walking robot automatically adjusts its gait to keep walking in response to variations in physical parameters, such as the slope angle or mass, that constitute its mechanics. Furthermore, the authors discovered that this adaptive behaviour enables the transition of the structure and degrees of freedom of the passive dynamic walking robot to different mechanical systems through the application of ‘interconnections among different dynamics’. This paper introduces new mechanical design approach for legged robots that applies these unique properties, with its validity verified through the computer simulations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Home Oxygen Therapy is a medical treatment for patients suffering from severe lung diseases. High purity oxygen is usually supplied to the nose via cannula (air tube), and it can give patients a high quality of life outside of hospital. However, whenever patients go out they must carry portable oxygen equipment which typically weighs about 4kg. In order to support H.O.T. patients, we have proposed a mobile following robot to carry the heavy oxygen equipment, consisting of two active differential drive wheels and two passive wheels connected by two parallel linkage mechanisms so as to form a rocker-bogie mechanism to negotiate a step or bump sideways. A tether interface is introduced to achieve robust measurement of the relative position of the user with respect to the robot. In this paper, we evaluate the size of the robot taken on public transportation. Moreover, an initial evaluation of the robot by Home Oxygen Therapy patient on a public road is reported, suggesting effectiveness in reducing the physical burden of the patient.

Abstract

Hyper-Tether is a highly functional system which uses tethers to connect a wide range of robots, vehicles and humans. Home Oxygen Therapy (H.O.T.) is a medical treatment for severe lung diseases in which the patients are supplied concentrated oxygen through a cannula. The need to carry a portable oxygen supply device limits the quality of life of the patients, and so we have designed a robot follower using Hyper-Tether. The robot, which can carry an oxygen tank and follow behind the patient, was tested by H.O.T. users and evaluated using questionnaires. This paper describes the development and testing of the robot follower, with particular focus on iterative design based on patients' feedback.
