Smart and Assistive Walker - ASBGo: Rehabilitation Robotics: A Smart-Walker to Assist Ataxic Patients.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
Locomotion is an important human faculty that affects an individual's life, bringing not only physical and psychosocial implications but also heavy social-economic consequences. Thus, it becomes paramount to find means (augmentative/assistive devices...

Development of Robotic Rollators and Walking Trolleys in Japan.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In Japan, several types of robotic rollators and walking trolleys have been developed with financial assistance from the Japanese government, and some of them have been commercialized in 2015 and 2016. In this paper, the specifications and features o...

Novel method to form adaptive internal impedance profiles in walkers.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper proposes a novel approach to improve walking in prosthetics, orthotics and robotics without closed loop controllers. The approach requires impedance profiles to be formed in a walker and uses state feedback to update the profiles in real-t...
