Conception of Turning Module for Orthotic Robot

Problems related to designing of orthotic robots (systems for verticalization and aiding motion) are presented. A ‘Veni-Prometheus’ System for Verticalization and Aiding Motion has been designed and built at the Division of Design of Precision Devices, Faculty of Mechatronics, Warsaw University of Technology. At present, the system can realize five motion functions. Further works aimed at designing and constructing a turning module for the orthotic robot have been carried out. Two concepts of such module are proposed.
