An exoskeleton system is being developed to aid in the mobilization of walking-impaired patients. New approaches to personal robotic assists have solved many classic problems with weight, power, endurance, and cost. A versatile platform of development allows for many variations and applications including mobility assist for the paralyzed, amputee, and spastic patient (MAPAS). A variety of strap on supports and braces are used, depending on the magnitude of the forces required. The MAPAS system utilizes compressed gas to power the main force producing elements, or muscles. Pneumatic muscles are used to provide controllable joint torque with moderate levels of pressure. These muscles are mounted to the brace, providing pull-only torque to joints. The MAPAS control system features interpreted joint mapping. The function of each leg joint is primarily directed through the output of a finger joint sensor. A six to eight sensor hand goniometer provides the system with user input. Higher control features actuated by on-board intelligent devices enable finger joint inputs to be enhanced providing balance, gait anticipation, fault-recovery, and spasm signature compensation. Ambient pressure levels of on-board reservoirs can be changed to suit changing environments ranging from heavily loaded amputee walking up stairs to the slight correction of a mild spasm. The entire system is portable with on-board batteries, compressed air reservoirs, intelligent algorithms, and goniometric sensors.
