In this study, we introduce a new model for bipedal locomotion that enhances the classical spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) model. Our proposed model incorporates a damping term in the leg spring, a linear actuator serially interconnected to th...
PURPOSE: Na MRI can be used to quantify in-vivo tissue sodium concentration (TSC), but the inherently low Na signal leads to long scan times and/or noisy or low-resolution images. Reconstruction algorithms such as compressed sensing (CS) have been pr...
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with impaired blood flow in the lower extremities and histopathologic changes of the skeletal calf muscles, resulting in abnormal microvascular perfusion. We studied the use of convolution neural networks...
Malalignment in the lower limb structure occurs due to various causes. Accurately evaluating limb alignment in situations where malalignment needs correction is necessary. To create an automated support system to evaluate lower limb alignment by quan...
Compliant leg function found during bouncy gaits in humans and animals can be considered a role model for designing and controlling bioinspired robots and assistive devices. The human musculoskeletal design and control differ from distal to proximal ...
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...
This paper presents the design and experimental verification of a parallel elastic robotic leg mechanism that aims to capture the dynamics of the linear mass-spring-damper model. The mechanism utilizes a wrapping cam mechanism to linearize the non-li...
Human-robot walking with prosthetic legs and exoskeletons, especially over complex terrains, such as stairs, remains a significant challenge. Egocentric vision has the unique potential to detect the walking environment prior to physical interactions,...

Gait coordination (GC), meaning that one leg moves in the same pattern but with a specific phase lag to the other, is a spontaneous behavior in the walking of a healthy person. It is also crucial for unilateral amputees with the robotic leg prosthesi...
