Human-like compliant locomotion: state of the art of robotic implementations.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Aug 22, 2016
This review paper provides a synthetic yet critical overview of the key biomechanical principles of human bipedal walking and their current implementation in robotic platforms. We describe the functional role of human joints, addressing in particular...
A new biarticular actuator design facilitates control of leg function in BioBiped3.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jul 1, 2016
Bioinspired legged locomotion comprises different aspects, such as (i) benefiting from reduced complexity control approaches as observed in humans/animals, (ii) combining embodiment with the controllers and (iii) reflecting neural control mechanisms....
On the effect of walking surface stiffness on inter-limb coordination in human walking: toward bilaterally informed robotic gait rehabilitation.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Mar 22, 2016
BACKGROUND: Robotic devices have been utilized in gait rehabilitation but have only produced moderate results when compared to conventional physiotherapy. Because bipedal walking requires neural coupling and dynamic interactions between the legs, a f...
Biomechanical and Physiological Evaluation of Multi-Joint Assistance With Soft Exosuits.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Jan 28, 2016
To understand the effects of soft exosuits on human loaded walking, we developed a reconfigurable multi-joint actuation platform that can provide synchronized forces to the ankle and hip joints. Two different assistive strategies were evaluated on ei...
Quantifying saphenous recirculation in patients with primary lower extremity venous reflux.
Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
Nov 24, 2015
BACKGROUND: The great saphenous vein (GSV) in patients with superficial venous insufficiency might act as a beneficial conduit for antegrade venous drainage and also as a harmful conduit for promotion of reflux and/or recirculation and subsequent ski...
Physical constraints, fundamental limits, and optimal locus of operating points for an inverted pendulum based actuated dynamic walker.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Oct 26, 2015
The inverted pendulum is a popular model for describing bipedal dynamic walking. The operating point of the walker can be specified by the combination of initial mid-stance velocity (v0) and step angle (φm) chosen for a given walk. In this paper, usi...
Minimal feedback to a rhythm generator improves the robustness to slope variations of a compass biped.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Aug 20, 2015
In recent years there has been a growing interest in the field of dynamic walking and bio-inspired robots. However, while walking and running on a flat surface have been studied extensively, walking dynamically over terrains with varying slope remain...
A miniature surface tension-driven robot using spatially elliptical moving legs to mimic a water strider's locomotion.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Aug 4, 2015
The highly agile and efficient water-surface locomotion of the water strider has stimulated substantial interest in biomimetic research. In this paper, we propose a new miniature surface tension-driven robot inspired by the water strider. A key featu...
Characterization of running with compliant curved legs.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jul 7, 2015
Running with compliant curved legs involves the progression of the center of pressure, the changes of both the leg's stiffness and effective rest length, and the shift of the location of the maximum stress point along the leg. These phenomena are pro...
Controlling legs for locomotion-insights from robotics and neurobiology.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jun 29, 2015
Walking is the most common terrestrial form of locomotion in animals. Its great versatility and flexibility has led to many attempts at building walking machines with similar capabilities. The control of walking is an active research area both in neu...
