The purpose of this research is to review upper limb exoskeleton for industrial and rehabilitation application from other researchers such as control system, mechanical design, load transmission methods, and control strategies. They mainly used the upper limb exoskeleton in the field of rehabilitation and power-assist. Electromyogram or EMG and Force sensor are used for measuring the user motion. Moreover, the load transmission methods have a lot of impact in term of speed and torque such as DC motor with gearbox, DC motor with driving wire, servo motor, and more. In this works, we study the various technique before design and develop the upper limb exoskeleton for supporting who is a disability of upper limb motion, to be more precise, low-cost, lightweight material, modern control algorithm, and capability upper limb motion.
คำอธิบาย
The unremitting trends of the elderly population have contributed to the aging society in many countries. In present, one-fifth of the population will be an elderly population which is more than the working-age population. Moreover, according to Ministry of Public Health of Thailand, the statistics showing that in 2025 Thailand is going into the aged society which elderly population will increase to 25% or about 14M people from 72M people by that year but in the other way lack therapist which is about 0.01% of the population affect the rehabilitation process. Therefore, the assistive device as the exoskeletons will be playing a crucial role as rehabilitation for people [1]-[3] and power-assistant [4]-[6], who have a problem with controlling their muscle. In the field of a factory or heavy workers, elder people, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients or others symptom, the power-assist exoskeleton will able the user to work more efficiently or able to do some activity in daily life such as in this research from K. Kazuo, et al. [7]. They develop an exoskeleton that helps to apply forces to the user’s motion in order to perform some action such as eating.
