WEARABLE ROBOT AND TEACHING METHOD OF MOTION USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A wearable robot to be worn by a user, comprising:
- a robot hand;
a robot arm connected to the robot hand;
a plurality of joints provided in the robot hand and the robot arm;
motors to drive the joints, respectively;
encoders to measure angles of the joints, respectively; and
a controller to record traces of motions by detecting user movement of the wearable robot worn by the user, according to the angles of the joints measured by the encoders, and to teach the motions by driving the motors following the recorded traces of the motions.

Abstract
A wearable robot may be worn by a user to record or teach a motion, including a motion such as sign language. The wearable robot includes a mode to record sign language data in a system by a sign language expert wearing the wearable robot and a mode to teach the sign language data recorded in the system to a sign language learner wearing the wearable robot. A user who wishes to learn sign language may easily learn sign language. In particular, a disabled person, who has poor eyesight and is unable to watch a video that teaches sign language, may learn sign language very intuitively using the wearable robot. Further, a user who has normal eyesight may also learn sign language more easily than from using a video which teaches sign language or from a sign language expert.
