Abstract
This paper describes the development of a power assistive device controller with user intention detection for fire fighters. In order to detect the intention of users, an F/T sensor frame was designed for the power assistive device controller. Using the numerical approach, each directional strain value of the F/T sensor frame was evaluated singly to determine the optimum point to mount the strain gauge under varying load conditions. The numerical analysis was conducted using the commercial program Ansys v11.0. The finite element model for the F/T sensor frame consisted of 37,547 elements and 157,154 nodes. A sensor bonding device and calibration jig were designed for the F/T sensor frame. In an effort to obtain the decoupling matrix for the F/T sensor frame of the proposed power assist device, calibration tests were conducted in the x-direction, y-direction, z-direction, My-direction and Mz-direction. In addition, the operating system was tested using the power assistive device controller that comprised of the F/T sensor frame.
