The Atılım University Department of Mechatronics Engineering started its operation in 2002 as the Education Program in Mechatronics Engineering holding a “department” status in Turkey. In addition, it is the first and the only institution for mechatronic engineering education to obtain a MÜDEK (Association for Evaluation and Accreditation of Engineering Programs) accreditation for a duration of 5 years. Mechatronics engineering is a discipline of engineering that combines mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering and software technologies on a machine or a product. These features place the field on a pedestal in today’s industry. The education at our department is also backed by substantial laboratory opportunities. Our students create interesting products of their skills and creativity for their dissertation projects. Should they wish to do so, our students may also proceed with a double-major program in the fields of Computer Engineering, Electrical - Electronics Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or Mechanical, Automotive or Software Engineering. Upon their demands, the Department of Mechatronic Engineering also offers a “Cooperative Education” program implemented in coordination with industrial institutions. Students receiving a portion of their training at industrial institutions and prepare for professional life under this program

Abstract

In this paper, we present design and development phase of lower limb robotic exoskeleton that can assist paralyzed individuals. Motion of the human wearing exoskeleton is introduced by actuators. Both exoskeleton legs are attached to the supporting frame by passive universal joints. The exoskeleton provides 3 DOFs per limb of which two joints are active and one passive. The control actions i.e., sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit movements are triggered using Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) toggle switch. The control scheme is implement using Switch control method and the feedback is provided by means of current measurement. This assistive device can be utilized for the disabled persons. The simulation results are provided that evaluates the performance of the control actions on exoskeleton. © 2018 IEEE.
