Design of a wearable interface for lightweight robotic arm for people with mobility impairments.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Many common activities of daily living like open a door or fill a glass of water, which most of us take for granted, could be an insuperable problem for people who have limited mobility or impairments. For years the unique alternative to overcame thi...

Design of a power-asymmetric actuator for a transtibial prosthesis.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents the design and characterization of a power-asymmetric actuator for a transtibial prosthesis. The device is designed to provide the combination of: 1) joint locking, 2) high power dissipation, and 3) low power generation. This actu...

Automated assessment of symptom severity changes during deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy for Parkinson's disease.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is currently being used as a treatment for symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Tracking symptom severity progression and deciding the optimal stimulation parameters for people with PD is extremely difficult. This study ...

Challenges in using compliant ligaments for position estimation within robotic joints.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The mechanical advantages of bio-inspired condylar robotic knee joints for use in prosthetics or rehabilitation has been argued extensively in literature. A common limitation of these designs is the difficulty of estimating joint angle and therefore ...

Design and characterization of low-cost fabric-based flat pneumatic actuators for soft assistive glove application.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
We present the design of low-cost fabric-based Hat pneumatic actuators for soft assistive glove application. The soft assistive glove is designed to assist hand impaired patients in performing activities of daily living and rehabilitation. The actuat...

Learning from demonstration: Teaching a myoelectric prosthesis with an intact limb via reinforcement learning.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Prosthetic arms should restore and extend the capabilities of someone with an amputation. They should move naturally and be able to perform elegant, coordinated movements that approximate those of a biological arm. Despite these objectives, the contr...

Representing high-dimensional data to intelligent prostheses and other wearable assistive robots: A first comparison of tile coding and selective Kanerva coding.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Prosthetic devices have advanced in their capabilities and in the number and type of sensors included in their design. As the space of sensorimotor data available to a conventional or machine learning prosthetic control system increases in dimensiona...

Estimating anatomical wrist joint motion with a robotic exoskeleton.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robotic exoskeletons can provide the high intensity, long duration targeted therapeutic interventions required for regaining motor function lost as a result of neurological injury. Quantitative measurements by exoskeletons have been proposed as measu...

Simultaneous estimation of human and exoskeleton motion: A simplified protocol.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Adequate benchmarking procedures in the area of wearable robots is gaining importance in order to compare different devices on a quantitative basis, improve them and support the standardization and regulation procedures. Performance assessment usuall...

Piecewise and unified phase variables in the control of a powered prosthetic leg.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Many control methods have been proposed for powered prosthetic legs, ranging from finite state machines that switch between discrete phases of gait to unified controllers that have a continuous sense of phase. In particular, recent work has shown tha...
