Research on control strategies for rehabilitation robots has gradually shifted from providing therapies with fixed, relatively stiff assistance to compelling alternatives with assistance or challenge strategies to maximize subject participation. Thes...
Soft actuators and robotics have been widely researched in recent years mainly due to their compliance to environments and safe interaction with humans. However, the need of tether and low energy efficiency of such actuators/robots has limited their ...
Repetitive and intensive exercises during robot-aided rehabilitation may expose patients to inappropriate and unsafe postures. The introduction of a sensory feedback can help the subject to perform the rehabilitation task with an ergonomic posture. I...

Lower extremity paralysis has become common in recent years, and robots have been developed to help patients recover from it. This paper presents such a robotic system that allows for two working modes, the robot-active mode and human-active mode. Th...
A new approach to gait rehabilitation task of a 12 DOF lower limb exoskeleton is proposed combining time-delay estimation (TDE) based computed torque control (CTC) and robust adaptive RBF neural networks. In addition to the conventional advantages of...
BACKGROUND: New developments, based on the concept of wearable soft-robotic devices, make it possible to support impaired hand function during the performance of daily activities and intensive task-specific training. The wearable soft-robotic ironHan...
