  • Patent number: 10918335
    Abstract: A sensing module is disclosed in the present invention and includes a body attaching member, a base module, a transmission member and a first sensor. The body attaching member is attached to a human limb and disposed on the base module. The transmission member is coupled to and moved with the body attaching member. The first sensor is disposed on a side of the body attaching member and separate from the body attaching member. When the body attaching member is driven to move along a direction by the human limb, the body attaching member drives the transmission member to activate the first sensor to generate a first signal. Since the first sensor is separate from the human limb, the first sensor is not affected by muscle swelling and skin friction during movement. Accordingly, the actuating module is able to drive the exoskeleton member more precisely.
