In the field of robotic gait rehabilitation, controlling robotic devices to follow specific human-like trajectories is often required. In recent years, various gait generator models have been proposed, providing customized gait patterns adjustable to a range of heights and gait speeds. However, these models were developed with a focus on gait rehabilitation devices designed to control the angular ...
This paper presents a novel impedance controller for THINGER (THumb INdividuating Grasp Exercise Robot), a 2-degree-of-freedom (DOF) spherical 5-bar exoskeleton designed to augment FINGER (Finger INdividuating Grasp Exercise Robot). Many rehabilitation and assessment tasks, for which THINGER is designed, are improved by rendering near-zero impedance during physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). ...
