In this paper, we address the problem of assist-as-needed (AAN) control of rehabilitation robots. The objective is to develop a path tracking control scheme with the minimized intervention of the robot to gain active participation of impaired subject...
Computational models of diarthrodial joints serve to inform the biomechanical function of these structures, and as such, must be supplied appropriate inputs for performance that is representative of actual joint function. Inputs for these models are ...
