1 Walk Assist Exoskeletons An opportunity for activities of Daily Living Exosquelettes d assistance à la marche une opportunité pour les activités quotidiennes Dr Ing. Mohamed Bouri Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne Rehabilitation and Assistive Robotics Group, RehAssist, BIOROB

2 General introduction Do you speak Robotics? page 02

3 Robotics A multidisciplinary Science 3

4 Delta robot for pick & place operations Inventor, Reymond Clavel, EPFL

5 ToolBox Combination Motor-gearbox Moment of inertia Moment of force I = M. r 2 Gearbox M Motor i u page 05

6 In the late ten years. Robotics has been closest to more disciplines Surgery and rehabilitation Cognitive neurosciences Gaming Building manufacturing The required skills are more and more MULTIDISCILINARITY Education

7 Rehabilitation with Robotics - From Robotics to Rehabilitation - From Rehabilitation To Rehabilitation Exoskeletons - From Rehabilitation Exoskeletons to Daily living. page 07

8 General introduction Anthropomorphic Robotics page 08

9 General introduction Why Robotics is a good opportunity to develop the rehabilitation techniques of tomorrow? page 09

13 What is about Exoskeletons 13

14 The dream 14

15 Allo Sike.. How will you define an EXOSKELETON?

16

17 Exoskeletons Definition The Chinese Brain Teaser An external covering or integument, especially when hard, as the shells of crustaceans (opposed to endoskeleton). [Ref, Dictionnary.com] EXO + SKELETON External + Rigidly (attached) rigidly interfaced to the limb through dedicated components to transmit motion or torques. Classified by IFR as personal service robot or a service robot for personal use IFR, 2012

18 Biomechanical considerations Hip is a spherical joint Knee is a pivot 18 Ankle

19 Exoskeletons The origins 1889 Since when? 19

20 Exoskeltons The origins The first Built General Electric's 1966 Hardiman. the first device built. Did not work because of control problems 20

24 Dream! Dave Mac Colman, C6, Rex user Alvaro s mother. Marsi Bionics user. Didier, the husband of Silke Pan TWIICE User. Daniel IHMC Exoskeleton 24 User Having Children that had never seen me walk meant so much to me. I dream so many times of watching him walking but he does not walk, Crying The best gift you offered to me is seeing my wife walking. There is NO Comment on his happiness wearing an exoskeleton
