PHYSICAL ASSISTIVE ROBOTIC SYSTEMS

摘要

A physical assistive robotic device may include a frame including an upright support member, a lateral member slidably engaged with the upright support member, a handle slidably engaged with the lateral member, an elevation actuator coupled to the upright support member and the lateral member, and a lateral actuator coupled to the lateral member and the handle. The elevation actuator translates the lateral member and the lateral actuator translates the handle to transition a user between a standing position and a non-standing position.

1. A physical assistive robotic device comprising:
a frame comprising an upright support member; a lateral member slidably engaged with the upright support member; a handle slidably engaged with the lateral member; an elevation actuator coupled to the upright support member and the lateral member; a lateral actuator coupled to the lateral member and the handle, wherein the elevation actuator translates the lateral member and the lateral actuator translates the handle to transition a user between a standing position and a non-standing position; an additional lateral member slidably engaged with the upright support member and coupled to the elevation actuator; an additional handle slidably engaged with the additional lateral member; an additional lateral actuator coupled to the additional lateral member and the additional handle wherein, the elevation actuator translates the additional lateral member and the additional lateral actuator translates the additional handle to transition the user between the standing position and the non-standing position; an electronic control unit comprising a processor for executing machine readable instructions and an electronic memory for storing the machine readable instructions; and a posture detector coupled to the upright support member and communicatively coupled with the electronic control unit, wherein the posture detector is a camera, wherein the posture detector captures image data of at least a portion of the user and outputs the image data to the electronic control unit; and the electronic control unit executes the machine readable instructions to:
receive the image data;determine whether a user posture is an improper posture based on the image data; andprovide an alert when the user posture is determined to be an improper posture.
