Abstract:

An apparatus includes a first cable, a first motor configured to provide first tension to the first cable, a second cable coupled to the first cable at an end effector, and a second motor configured to provide second tension to the second cable.

Abstract:

A method of varying a dynamic resistive force during a strength training exercise includes receiving a selection of the strength training exercise from a set of available strength training exercises and obtaining exercise logic for the strength training exercise from computer memory. The exercise logic provides instructions for generating a vector that defines the dynamic resistive force provided at an end effector of a strength training apparatus during the strength training exercise. The method includes determining a real-time geometric arrangement of a plurality of cables coupled to the end effector, generating, based on the real-time geometric arrangement of the plurality of cables and the exercise logic, time-varying operating setpoints for a plurality of actuator assemblies coupled to the plurality of cables, and exerting the dynamic resistive force at the end effector by controlling the plurality of actuator assemblies in accordance with the time-varying operating setpoints.

International Classification:

A63B 21/00
A63B 21/005

Abstract:

A wearable robotic device configured to provide exercise for a human user. A primary use of the device is to address muscle and bone density loss for astronauts spending extended periods in microgravity. In one configuration the device applies a compressive force between a users feet and torso. This force acts very generally like gravity—forcing the user to exert a reactive force. The compressive force is precisely controlled using a processor running software so that a virtually endless variety of force applications are possible. For example, the wearable device can be configured to apply a gravity-simulating force throughout the device's range of motion. The robotic device may also be configurable for non-wearable uses. In these cases the robotic device may act as an exercise machine. The programmable nature of the force application allows the device to simulate weight-training devices and other useful exercise devices. The device's functions may be implemented in a microgravity environment or a normal terrestrial environment.

US Classification:

Abstract:

A bipedal exoskeleton configured to be worn by a human user. The exoskeleton includes a soft “backpack”-style harness that interfaces primarily with the user's waist, back, and shoulders. A chassis is provided to mount two positively-driven legs. Each leg includes features that are analogous to a human leg—a hip joint, a thigh, a knee joint, a calf, and a foot plate. Each leg of the exoskeleton is physically connected to one of the human user's legs. A thigh cuff is used to connect to the user's thigh. A shin cuff is used to connect to the user's calf. A foot plate rests beneath the sole of the user's foot. Power actuators are provided in the exoskeleton's hip and knee joints, and possibly additional locations. A user interface is provided in one or more locations so that the user can control desired functions of the exoskeleton.
