Design of a control system for a crutch-based robot for medical assistance

With the rapid development of Chinese society, the aging problem is becoming more and more serious. The increase of the elderly population will bring many medical problems. At present, China has become the country with the largest population of the elderly in the world, and there is a growing trend, the old people generally have the problem of inconvenient walking. In addition to medical drugs, suitable walking AIDS play a very important role in restoring the walking ability of the elderly. Ordinary crutches can only play a simple supporting role, and cannot provide effective help for the elderly who have seriously lost the ability to walk. This paper designs a walking stick robot which is different from ordinary walking sticks and can provide more help for the elderly, including the modeling of the system, the design of the software and hardware of the control system, and the system debugging. The results prove that the system design is feasible and provides a new solution to the problem of walking difficulties for the elderly.
