Development, Dynamic Modeling, and Multi-Modal Control of a Therapeutic Exoskeleton for Upper Limb Rehabilitation Training.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Robot-assisted training is a promising technology in clinical rehabilitation providing effective treatment to the patients with motor disability. In this paper, a multi-modal control strategy for a therapeutic upper limb exoskeleton is proposed to as...

Adaptive Neural Control of a Kinematically Redundant Exoskeleton Robot Using Brain-Machine Interfaces.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
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...

Assistance Robotics and Biosensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This Special Issue is focused on breakthrough developments in the field of biosensors and current scientific progress in biomedical signal processing. The papers address innovative solutions in assistance robotics based on bioelectrical signals, incl...

Soft Poly-Limbs: Toward a New Paradigm of Mobile Manipulation for Daily Living Tasks.

Soft robotics
We present the design and development of the fluid-driven, wearable, Soft Poly-Limb (SPL), from the Greek word polys, meaning many. The SPL utilizes the numerous traits of soft robotics to enable a novel approach in providing safe and compliant mobil...

Do powered over-ground lower limb robotic exoskeletons affect outcomes in the rehabilitation of people with acquired brain injury?

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
To assess the effects of lower limb robotic exoskeletons on outcomes in the rehabilitation of people with acquired brain injury. A systematic review of seven electronic databases was conducted. The primary outcome of interest was neuromuscular funct...

Novel robust control of a 7-DOF exoskeleton robot.

PloS one
This paper proposes a novel robust control method for the control of a 7-DOF exoskeleton robot. The external disturbances and unknown dynamics in the form of friction forces, different upper-limb's mass, backlash, and input saturation make robot unst...

Bio-inspired upper limb soft exoskeleton to reduce stroke-induced complications.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Stroke has become the leading cause of disability and the second-leading cause of mortality worldwide. Dyskinesia complications are the major reason of these high death and disability rates. As a tool for rapid motion function recovery in stroke pati...

Mechanical Design and Control Strategy for Hip Joint Power Assisting.

Journal of healthcare engineering
The basic requirements for mechanical design and control strategy are adapting to human joint movements and building an interaction model between human and robot. In this paper, a 3-UPS parallel mechanism is adopted to realize that the instantaneous ...

Exoskeleton assistance symmetry matters: unilateral assistance reduces metabolic cost, but relatively less than bilateral assistance.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Many gait impairments are characterized by asymmetry and result in reduced mobility. Exoskeletons could be useful for restoring gait symmetry by assisting only one leg. However, we still have limited understanding of the effects of unilat...

Improving internal model strength and performance of prosthetic hands using augmented feedback.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The loss of an arm presents a substantial challenge for upper limb amputees when performing activities of daily living. Myoelectric prosthetic devices partially replace lost hand functions; however, lack of sensory feedback and strong und...
