Wearable intelligent device has become a hotspot in the research of human-computer interaction system. A representative example is exoskeleton robot, which has already been applied in rehabilitation, assistance, and even in military field. In order to guarantee man-machine coordination, and to achieve a reasonable performance, proper control has to be implemented according to the wearer's body motions, and body motion capture system is necessary in this process. In this paper, a wearable body motion capture (WBMC) system is designed based on inertial measurement unit (IMU) and IEEE 802.11b wireless communication, and demonstration application in assistive exoskeleton control validate the proposed WBMC system.
