Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a wearable robot with improved operability and mobility through improvement of the upper limb structure thereof. The wearable robot includes an upper limb muscular power assist device to perform an articulation motion with a predetermined degree of freedom, the upper limb muscular power assist device being wearable by a user, and a mobile platform connected to the upper limb muscular power assist device to move according to information regarding movement speed and movement direction of the user in a rolling fashion. Consequently, mobility of the wearable robot and operation efficiency of the user are improved.
