Semi-Passive Assistive Devices For The Upper Limbs

技術優勢: Semi-passive and extremely efficientLow or no power consumption during long periods of usageLightweight and compactSimple to take on and offReduced risk of atrophy

技術應用: Assistance in industrial and rehabilitative settingsIncreased independence for individuals with physical limitationsDisaster relief and first response teams

*Abstract: Assistive exoskeletons are designed to enable humans to perform tasks otherwise beyond their capacities. One area of particular interest is the upper limb. Existing devices for upper limb assistance are powered by active or passive methods. Active devices use motors, but require complicated controllers and consistent power to perform tasks. Passive devices do not require power, but often have fixed parameters meaning that they are not especially versatile. Moreover, the devices that currently exist tend to be bulky, costly, and inefficient.

To address those deficiencies, UC Berkeley researchers have developed a semi-passive assistive device for upper limbs. The Berkeley device is lightweight, reduces user fatigue, and increases load carrying capacity. The device is highly versatile, and is able to increase the mobility and functionality of a user’s arm.
