US Patent:
20130040783, Feb 14, 2013
Filed:
Nov 30, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/308132
Inventors:
Kevin R. Duda - Watertown MA, US
Douglas J. Zimpfer - Houston TX, US
Seamus T. Tuohy - Newton MA, US
John J. West - Weston MA, US
Assignee:
THE CHARLES STARK DRAPER LABORATORY, INC. - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
A63B 71/00
US Classification:
482 9
Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing resistance to movement of a wearer. The system includes a plurality of wearable actuators, a plurality of wearable sensors, and a processor. Each of the wearable sensors measures an indication of an orientation of a corresponding one of the wearable actuators with respect to a vertical direction. Each of the sensors also measures an indication of a motion experienced by the corresponding one of the wearable actuators. The processor receives data from each sensor indicating the orientation and the motion of the sensor. The processor determines an amount of resistance to apply using each of the actuators based on the vertical direction and sends instructions to the actuators. The instructions cause the actuators to apply a resistance to the wearer.
