Abstract
We have developed the power assistive suit, HAL (Hybrid Assistive Leg) which provide the self-walking aid for gait disorder
persons or aged persons. In this paper, We introduce HAL-3 system, improving HAL-1,2 systems which had developed previously.
EMG signal was used as the input information of power assist controller. We propose a calibration method to identify parameters
which relates the EMG to joint torque by using HAL-3. We could obtain suitable torque estimated by EMG and realize an apparatus
that enables power to be used for walking and standing up according to the intention of the operator.
