Pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) has been widely used in rehabilitation and other fields as a flexible and safe actuator. In this paper, a PAM-actuated wearable exoskeleton robot is developed for upper limb rehabilitation. However, accurate modeling...
BACKGROUND: Although clinical machine learning (ML) algorithms offer promising potential in forecasting optimal stroke rehabilitation outcomes, their specific capacity to ascertain favorable outcomes and identify responders to robotic-assisted gait t...
Exoskeletons have enormous potential to improve human locomotive performance. However, their development and broad dissemination are limited by the requirement for lengthy human tests and handcrafted control laws. Here we show an experiment-free meth...
Repetitive overhead tasks during factory work can cause shoulder injuries resulting in impaired health and productivity loss. Soft wearable upper extremity robots have the potential to be effective injury prevention tools with minimal restrictions us...
This article studies the passive tracking problem of a wearable exoskeleton for lower limb rehabilitation therapy in the face of unmodeled dynamics, interactive friction, disturbance, prescribed performance constraints, and actuator faults. Adaptive ...
