Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation of Exoskeleton Transparency Controllers for Upper-Limb Neurorehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
High transparency is a fundamental requirement for upper-limb exoskeletons to promote active patient participation. Although various control strategies have been suggested to improve the transparency of these robots, there are still some limitations,...

Improving Walking Assistance Efficiency in Real-World Scenarios with Soft Exosuits Using Locomotion Mode Detection.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The use of portable and lightweight wearable assistive devices can improve wearer locomotion efficiency by reducing the metabolic cost of walking. To achieve this goal, assistive technologies must adapt to different locomotion modes to optimize walki...

Neuro-Rehabilitation Therapy with T-FLEX Ankle Exoskeleton and Serious Games: A Case Study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) causes permanent disabilities, such as foot drop. This condition affects the gait pattern, increasing the metabolic cost and risk of falling. Robotics with serious games has shown promising results in the gait rehabilitati...

User-Centered Configuration of Soft Hip Flexion Exosuit Designs to Assist Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis Through Simulated Human-in-the-Loop Optimization.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Soft exosuits hold promise as assistive technology for people with gait deficits owing to a variety of causes. A key aspect of providing useful assistance is to keep the human user at the center of all considerations made in the design, configuration...

Systematic Evaluation of a Knee Exoskeleton Misalignment Compensation Mechanism Using a Robotic Dummy Leg.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The objective and quantitative assessment of physical human-exoskeletons interaction (pHEI) represents a pressing necessity in the wearable robots field. This process remains of difficult execution, especially for early stage devices, in which the in...

Cooperative Goal Generation for Reaching Tasks in Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted neurorehabilitation requires automated generation of goal positions for reaching tasks in functional movement therapy. In state-of-the-art solutions, these positions are determined by a motivational therapy game either through constrai...

Impedance Control of a 2-DOF Spherical 5-Bar Exoskeleton for Physical Human-Robot Interaction During Rehabilitation and Assessment.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
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 rehabilitati...

Comparison of Admittance Control Dynamic Models for Transparent Free-Motion Human-Robot Interaction.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents an experimental comparison of multiple admittance control dynamic models implemented on a five-degree-of-freedom arm exoskeleton. The performance of each model is evaluated for transparency, stability, and impact on point-to-point...

Model-Based Shared Control of a Hybrid FES-Exoskeleton: An Application in Participant-Specific Robotic Rehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Hybrid exoskeleton, comprising an exoskeleton interfaced with functional electrical stimulation (FES) technique, is conceptualized to complement the weakness of each other in automated neuro-rehabilitation of sensory-motor deficits. The externally ac...

A Completely Portable and Concealable, Lightweight Assistive Exosuit for Upper Limbs.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Exosuits are a relatively new trend in wearable robotics to answer the flaws of their exoskeleton counterparts, but they remain impractical as the lack of rigidity in their frames makes the integration of crucial components into a single unit a chall...
