Cleanup rewrite date May 2009 The goal of the LOPES project LOwer extremity PoweredExoSkeleton is to design and implement a gait Physical therapy rehabilitation robot for treadmill training. The target group consists of people who have suffered a stroke and have impaired motor control . The main goals of LOPES are Reduction of the physical load on the physical therapy therapist patient More efficient Gait human gait training for stroke patients Selective support of gait functions Therapist stays in charge of high level decisions. The mechanical construction should offer assistance in leg movements in the forward direction and in keeping lateral balance. Within the LOPES project, it has been decided to realize this by connecting the limbs of the patient to an exoskeleton so that robot and patient move in parallel. Most gait rehabilitation robots that are currently being developed 1, 2 focus on the support of the entire gait cycle as a single unit. These robots use joint trajectories of the entire gait cycle and offer a uniform more or less stiff control along this trajectory. This means that the patient receives support in gait phases where support is necessary but also in phases where support isn t necessary. Studies have been done on an exoskeleton 3 that propose adaptive control methods which minimize the interaction forces with the patient with respect to an adaptable reference pattern, but these still control the entire gait cycle. Studies have also shown that walking with the Hocoma Lokomat requires significantly less energy than normal walking 4 . LOPES aims to support and not take over those tasks that the patient is unable to perform without help using an impedance control scheme. This will lead to a more active participation from the patient s side. The tradeoff ... for use as torque actuator in exoskeleton type training robots. proceedings of the Icorr 2005, 2005 ...

An Exoskeleton car has a visible external frame, being made of steel or carbon fiber tubes. The simplistic construction of the vehicle follows Colin Chapman s philosophy of maximising the power to weight ratio by minimising weight rather than simply adding power. Early monocoque racing cars such as the Lotus 25 had their chassis exposed but the term exoskeletal is more usually reserved for vehicles with an exposed spaceframe, such as sandrail s, dune buggies or specialized light weight track cars.

A human powered helicopter is a helicopter designed to carry at least one person but limited to using only what power is provided by the person s on board, usually by pedalling. A high power to weight ratio is needed as in all helicopters. Such aircraft must be light and must have efficient rotary wings. Efficiency for human powered purposes means that the rotors must generate great lift but cause little drag, because drag consumes power. The Sikorsky Prize has not yet been awarded.
