Title
Walking Intention Detection using Fusion of FSR and Tilt Sensor Signals
 
Abstract
In the aging society, the walking assist robot is a necessary device for being able to help the older and the lower limb disabled people to walk. In order to produce a convenient robot for the older and the lower limb disabled, it is needed for the research to detect the implicit walking intention and to control robot by a user`s intention. This study is a previous study to develop the detection model of the walking intention and analyze the user`s walking intention while a person is walking with Lofstrand crutches, by the combination of FSR and tilt signals. The FSR sensors attached user`s the palm and the soles of foot are sensing force/pressure signals from these areas and are used for detecting the walking intention and states. The tilt sensor acquires roll and pitch signal from area of vertebrae lumbales and reflects the pose of the upper limb. We can recognize the user`s walking intention such as `start walking`, `start of right or left foot forward`, and `stop walking` by the combination of FSR and tilt signals can recognize.
