Abstract: An adjusting assembly for an exoskeleton robot. The adjusting assembly includes a first plate, a second plate pivotably connected to the first plate via a first shaft, and a second shaft. The first plate includes at least one pin aligned with each other in a first direction. The second shaft, extending in parallel with the first shaft in the first direction, includes a body and at least one recess. The second shaft is configured to rotate to a first position to accommodate the at least one pin in the at least one recess, and to a second position to release the at least one pin from the at least one recess. At the first position the second plate is blocked from rotation about the first shaft by the body. At the second position the second plate is allowed to rotate about the first shaft.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for controlling an exoskeleton robot. The method comprises checking that a first signal is triggered by a first button, checking a tilt angle after the first signal is triggered, setting an action based on the tilt angle, and executing the action to move the exoskeleton robot. The first signal indicates to change the exoskeleton robot from a standing posture to another posture, and the tilt angle is a leaning-forward angle of a waist assembly of the exoskeleton robot relative to a line vertical to ground. The method utilizes the tilt angle to judge the intent of the user, and thus can simplify the controlling buttons to one or two buttons. Further, the controlling method also monitors the tilt angle to choose a suitable action.
