Abstract

In this study, the control method of assistive robot was developed for the elderly. The control method ofgait-assistant-robot was proposed considering the change of COP (Center of Pelves), BOS (Base of Support) and comparativeanalysis of the moving velocity for the elderly. We analyzed the movement of COP of the body and its velocity of the elderlyequipped with manual walker and gait-assistant-robot. As a result, change in COP was greater from left to right than fromanterior to posterior; also, the average velocity of the movement of COP and manual walker for manual walker gait was0.7(m/s). Therefore, it is necessary to concern more on the left-right balance and synchronization of the velocity of COP. © ICROS 2010.
