This study aimed to determine whether the distance of gait training using a hybrid assistive limb (HAL) is related to the improvement of walking independence in patients with acute brain injury. This was an exploratory, observational study. Thirty pa...
Robotic exoskeletons have considerable, but largely untapped, potential to restore mobility in individuals with neurological disorders, and other conditions that result in partial or complete immobilization. The growing demand for these devices neces...

Robotic gait training may improve overground ambulation for individuals with poor control over pelvic motion. However, there is a need for an overground gait training robotic device that allows full control of pelvic movement and synchronizes applied...
In this paper, the useability of feedforward and recurrent neural networks for fusion of data from impulse-radar sensors and depth sensors, in the context of healthcare-oriented monitoring of elderly persons, is investigated. Two methods of data fusi...
Human-robot collaboration is one of the most challenging fields in robotics, as robots must understand human intentions and suitably cooperate with them in the given circumstances. But although this is one of the most investigated research areas in r...
