Previous ankle exoskeleton assistance techniques that were able to demonstrate metabolic reductions can be categorized into those that delivered moment profiles similar to the biological ankle moment throughout the stance phase, and others that deliv...
Robotic rehabilitation of the upper limb has been proved beneficial for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In order to provide task-specific therapy for MS, given its complex impairing nature, it is desired to take advantage of the robots' ability ...
The use of robotic systems combined with force sensing is emerging as the gold standard for in vitro biomechanical joint testing, due to the advantage of controlling all six degrees of freedom independently of one another. This paper describes a nove...

PURPOSE: To measure contact forces (CFs) at standardized locations representative of clinical articular cartilage defects on the medial and lateral femoral condyles during robotic tests with simulated weightbearing knee flexion.
Template models of legged locomotion are powerful tools for gait analysis, but can also inspire robot design and control. In this paper, a spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) model is employed to control vertical hopping of a 2-segmented legged ro...

In this paper, a closed-loop control has been developed for the exoskeleton robot system based on brain-machine interface (BMI). Adaptive controllers in joint space, a redundancy resolution method at the velocity level, and commands that generated fr...
Ankle sprains are the most common sports injury. Gaining a better understanding of ankle mechanics will help improve current treatments, enabling a better quality of life for patients following surgery. In this paper, the development of a robotic sys...
