Development of a Lightweight Flexible Construction Work Assist Suit Using Pneumatic Rubber Artificial Muscles
Abstract:
We developed an assist suit with lightweight, flexible artificial muscles of pneumatic rubber for reducing muscle load in the lumbar region. We designed two assist forces to control the artificial muscles with pulse width modulation based on the measured EMG of the spinal column muscle and estimated the torque of the hip joint. The experimental results confirmed the developed work assist suit could unload muscle activity during bending and stretching exercises. We also proposed to use an EMG measurement device at the wearer's temple to control the assist timing and confirmed the feasibility of detecting the intention of the wearer.

Construction of Root Locus
For positive gain values, the root locus exists on the real axis to the left of an odd number of finite open-loop poles or zeros. The root locus starts at the open-loop poles and traces the paths of the closed-loop poles as the gain...
Construction of Frequency Distribution
First, make a table with two columns—one with the title of the data that needs to be organized, and the other column for frequency. [Draw a third column for tally marks if needed]. Then, take a look at the items given in the data set and decide if an ungrouped frequency distribution table or a grouped frequency distribution table would be more suitable. If there are large sets of different values, then it is...
