Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving walking assistance technology for the aging population by developing robotic walkers that provide better support for users' desired walking speeds.
- Researchers created an algorithm that adjusts the amount of support based on each user's average walking speed, integrated into a walker equipped with BLDC motors and a sampling-type PID control system.
- Experiments showed that this new assistance algorithm effectively maintained target speeds without hindering users' natural walking, allowing for personalized levels of support.
