This paper proposes a generalized spring-loaded inverted pendulum (G-SLIP) model to explore various popular reduced-order dynamic models' characteristics and suggest a better robot leg design under specified performance indices. The G-SLIP model's co...

Measuring center-of-pressure (COP) trajectories in out-of-the-lab environments may provide valuable information about changes in gait and balance function related to natural disease progression or treatment in neurological disorders. Traditional equi...
Gait phase recognition is of great importance in the development of rehabilitation devices. The advantages of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) are combined (LSTM-CNN) in this paper, then a gait phase recognition me...
Legged robots can travel through complex scenes via dynamic foothold adaptation. However, it remains a challenging task to efficiently utilize the dynamics of robots in cluttered environments and to achieve efficient navigation. We present a novel hi...
Fall detection and physical activity (PA) classification are important health maintenance issues for the elderly and people with mobility dysfunctions. The literature review showed that most studies concerning fall detection and PA classification add...
Elderly gait is a source of rich information about their physical and mental health condition. As an alternative to the multiple sensors on the lower body parts, a single sensor on the pelvis has a positional advantage and an abundance of information...
Natural terrain is uneven so it may be beneficial to grasp onto the depressions or 'valleys' between obstacles when walking over such a surface. To examine how leg geometry influences walking across obstacles with valleys, we (1) modeled the performa...
Efficient, adaptive, locomotor function is critically important for maintaining our health and independence, but falls-related injuries when walking are a significant risk factor, particularly for more vulnerable populations such as older people and ...
