Projeto e implementação do sistema mecânico e do acionamento eletrônico de potência de um Andador Robótico Inteligente

Abstract

Often, people with walking difficulties make use of equipment to assist in their movement and physical displacement. Such equipment can range from the most common, such as canes and wheelchairs, to the most elaborate, such as powered walkers and the so-called smart walkers. In view of such equipment and given the difficulties faced by people with such mobility difficulties, in this Course Completion Work, the construction of the mechanical system of an intelligent walker was carried out. This work aims to develop the mechanical design and physical construction of an intelligent walker used to help people with walking difficulties. The project involves the creation of a virtual 3D model, manufacturing and machining of parts, assembly, development of the microcontrolled power system and preliminary tests of the basic functioning of the equipment.
