There are many competitions on these searches area. One of them is Human Exoskeleton Assistance System Prototype (HEASP) that is developed at Dokuz Eylül University. HEASP's goal is to assist one leg extremity persons. In this paper, the capturing of human walking parameters on sagittal plane is introduced. These parameters used for walking pattern generation and making pattern decision control strategies on HEASP.

Walking trajectory generation is one of the deterministic factors in walking robot applications. Different approaches for stable walking trajectory are worked on in robotic research. The linear inverted pendulum model (LIPM) is an effective method used with the zero moment point (ZMP) criteria. Biped robot trunk and feet moving patterns are generated depending on these fundamental methods. In this study, generated trajectories were tested by a 12 degree of freedom (DOF) biped robot RUBI built at Dokuz Eylül University. In the experimental work, the joint angles obtained by using inverse kinematics from the generated trajectories were implemented on the robot. The results showed that even with a simple control system implementation of generated trajectories is very promising in terms of stability and reducing complexity.

There are very important technological developments in many fields, especially in robots, electric vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, autonomous systems, smart home applications and 3D printers. Technical workers with high technical knowledge and skills are needed for the development, installation, and operation of these systems. Vocational and technical education institutions, associate degree, undergraduate and graduate departments of universities contribute to the manpower trained in this field. Mechatronics discipline is one of the most important fields that can meet the required technical human resources. At this point, mechatronics associate degree programs in Turkey draw attention. In this study, mechatronics associate degree programs of state universities with a base score of 300 points above the Basic Proficiency Test (TYT) in 2022 and the universities with these programs were examined. Considering whether the universities are research universities and the 2022-2023 URAP rankings prepared by the Middle East Technical University Informatics Institute, their relationship with university preference priority was examined. The academic profile of the regular academicians who teach in the relevant programs has been researched. In the next stage, students' preference and placement data were analyzed using the YÖK atlas data for the year 2019-2021. The base scores of the determined programs and the changes in the rankings of these programs were examined. The quotas of the programs and the initial placement rates in these quotas were investigated. The preference of the program in terms of gender was investigated by looking at the gender distribution of the students placed in the programs. The effects of universities and cities on preferences were examined by examining how many candidates preferred the programs in total and the number of candidates per quota. The situation of vocational high schools was revealed by looking at the placement rates of students coming from vocational high schools and different high school types by investigating the number of students whose Secondary Education Achievement Scores (OÖBP) were calculated as normal and additional scores. By looking at the TYT exam ranking of the person who was placed last in the programs, the ranking differences between the candidates placed in the schools were examined.

Dış iskelet sistemi, SolidWorks yazılımı kullanılarak üç boyutlu modellenmiştir. Eş zamanlı olarak insan üzerinden yürüme verileri alınmış ve ayak tabanı dörde bölünerek zeminden etkiyen tepki kuvvetleri ölçülmüştür. Elde edilen veriler kullanılarak yürüme modellenip dış iskelet sisteminde oluşan gerilme ve şekil değiştirme dağılımı elde edilmiştir. Bu analizler ile kontrol aşamasında kullanılmak üzere yürüme verileri elde edilmiştir. Ayrıca ayak tepki kuvvetinin mevcut olduğu durumlar için motor güç ihtiyaçları belirlenmiştir.
