Gastrocnemius myoelectric control of a robotic hip exoskeleton.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this paper we present a novel EMG-based assistive control strategy for lower-limb exoskeletons. An active pelvis orthosis (APO) generates torque profiles for the hip flexion motion assistance, according to the Gastrocnemius Medialis EMG signal. Th...

Tuning of robotic therapy controllers for stroke gait: Using isometrically constrained EMG modular structures.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The development of EMG based controllers for automated gait orthosis is a promising intervention for post-stroke gait rehabilitation and assistive device applications. However, the integration of stroke specific modular neuromuscular patterns for the...

Design of a biped robot actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
High compliant legs are essential for the efficient versatile locomotion and shock absorbency of humans. This study proposes a biped robot actuated by pneumatic artificial muscles to mimic human locomotion. On the basis of the musculoskeletal archite...

Application of multi-output support vector regression on EMGs to decode hand continuous movement trajectory.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
Applications of neural machine interfaces have received increased attention during the last decades. It is crucial to realize the continuous control of prosthetic devices based on biological signals. In order to deal with the highly nonlinear relatio...

Finding a Path for Segmentation Through Sequential Learning.

Information processing in medical imaging : proceedings of the ... conference
Sequential learning techniques, such as auto-context, that applies the output of an intermediate classifier as contextual features for its subsequent classifier has shown impressive performance for semantic segmentation. We show that these methods ca...

Exoskeleton control for lower-extremity assistance based on adaptive frequency oscillators: adaptation of muscle activation and movement frequency.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
In this article, we analyze a novel strategy for assisting the lower extremities based on adaptive frequency oscillators. Our aim is to use the control algorithm presented here as a building block for the control of powered lower-limb exoskeletons. T...
