Figure 1

Newly-developed wearable robot suit, hybrid assistive limb (HAL). The HAL suit has power units and force-pressure sensors in the shoes. The power units consist of angular sensors and actuators on bilateral hip and knee joints (a). Muscle action potentials are detected through the electrodes on the anterior and posterior surface of the thigh ((b), (c)). Assist levels and force-pressure are shown on a computer monitor (d).
