Effect of Lower Limb Exoskeleton on the Modulation of Neural Activity and Gait Classification.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Neurorehabilitation with robotic devices requires a paradigm shift to enhance human-robot interaction. The coupling of robot assisted gait training (RAGT) with a brain-machine interface (BMI) represents an important step in this direction but require...

Evaluating adaptiveness of an active back exosuit for dynamic lifting and maximum range of motion.

Ergonomics
Back exosuits deliver mechanical assistance to reduce the risk of back injury, however, minimising restriction is critical for adoption. We developed the adaptive impedance controller to minimise restriction while maintaining assistance by modulating...

A Transformer-Based Neural Network for Gait Prediction in Lower Limb Exoskeleton Robots Using Plantar Force.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Lower limb exoskeleton robots have shown significant research value due to their capabilities of providing assistance to wearers and improving physical motion functions. As a type of robotic technology, wearable robots are directly in contact with th...

Initial Testing of Robotic Exoskeleton Hand Device for Stroke Rehabilitation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The preliminary test results of a novel robotic hand rehabilitation device aimed at treatment for the loss of motor abilities in the fingers and thumb due to stroke are presented. This device has been developed in collaboration with physiotherapists ...

A Soft Hand Exoskeleton With a Novel Tendon Layout to Improve Stable Wearing in Grasping Assistance.

IEEE transactions on haptics
We present a novel soft exoskeleton providing active support for hand closing and opening. The main novelty is a different tendon routing, folded laterally on both sides of the hand, and adding clenching forces when the exoskeleton is activated. It i...

Effect of Gait Speed on Trajectory Prediction Using Deep Learning Models for Exoskeleton Applications.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Gait speed is an important biomechanical determinant of gait patterns, with joint kinematics being influenced by it. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of fully connected neural networks (FCNNs), with a potential application for exoskeleton...

A Self-Coordinating Controller with Balance-Guiding Ability for Lower-Limb Rehabilitation Exoskeleton Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The restricted posture and unrestricted compliance brought by the controller during human-exoskeleton interaction (HEI) can cause patients to lose balance or even fall. In this article, a self-coordinated velocity vector (SCVV) double-layer controlle...

Exoskeleton Training Modulates Complexity in Movement Patterns and Cortical Activity in Able-Bodied Volunteers.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Robot-aided gait training (RAGT) plays a crucial role in providing high-dose and high-intensity task-oriented physical therapy. The human-robot interaction during RAGT remains technically challenging. To achieve this aim, it is necessary to quantify ...

Trends in Robotics Research in Occupational Safety and Health: A Scientometric Analysis and Review.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Robots have been deployed in workplaces to assist, work alongside, or collaborate with human workers on various tasks, which introduces new occupational safety and health hazards and requires research efforts to address these issues. This study inves...

Development of a comfort suit-type soft-wearable robot with flexible artificial muscles for walking assistance.

Scientific reports
Anchoring components are added to wearable robots to ensure a stable interaction between the suits and the human body and to minimize the displacement of the suits. However, these components can apply pressure to the body and can cause user dissatisf...
