Abstract
The increase in the life span of many elderly people means that there are more demands for aids to support them in normal life [11]. Previous efforts to improve the ability of bedridden people to enjoy daily life have led to the development of devices with special functions such as a food supplying using robotic manipulator equipped with vision, delivering materials to the user [13]. Among their daily activities, walking is an essential function for the elderly and the disabled. The exercise of walking is also needed to prevent the contractions of the lower limb [24].
