Advances in Vision-Based Gait Recognition: From Handcrafted to Deep Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Identifying people's identity by using behavioral biometrics has attracted many researchers' attention in the biometrics industry. Gait is a behavioral trait, whereby an individual is identified based on their walking style. Over the years, gait reco...

Relation between Cortical Activation and Effort during Robot-Mediated Walking in Healthy People: A Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Neuroimaging Study (fNIRS).

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Force and effort are important components of a motor task that can impact rehabilitation effectiveness. However, few studies have evaluated the impact of these factors on cortical activation during gait. The purpose of the study was to investigate th...

Theory of Fast Walking With Human-Driven Load-Carrying Robot Exoskeletons.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Reaching and maintaining high walking speeds is challenging for a human when carrying extra weight, such as walking with a heavy backpack. Robotic limbs can support a heavy backpack when standing still, but accelerating a backpack within a couple of ...

Exploring Orientation Invariant Heuristic Features with Variant Window Length of 1D-CNN-LSTM in Human Activity Recognition.

Biosensors
Many studies have explored divergent deep neural networks in human activity recognition (HAR) using a single accelerometer sensor. Multiple types of deep neural networks, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), or ...

Milli-scale cellular robots that can reconfigure morphologies and behaviors simultaneously.

Nature communications
Modular robot that can reconfigure architectures and functions has advantages in unpredicted environment and task. However, the construction of modular robot at small-scale remains a challenge since the lack of reliable docking and detaching strategi...

Adjustable Parameters and the Effectiveness of Adjunct Robot-Assisted Gait Training in Individuals with Chronic Stroke.

International journal of environmental research and public health
The aims of this study were (1) to compare the effect of robot-assisted gait orthosis (RAGO) plus conventional physiotherapy with the effect of conventional therapy alone on functional outcomes, including balance, walking ability, muscle strength, da...

Unsupervised Gait Phase Estimation With Domain-Adversarial Neural Network and Adaptive Window.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
The performanceof previous machine learning models for gait phase is only satisfactory under limited conditions. First, they produce accurate estimations only when the ground truth of the gait phase (of the target subject) is known. In contrast, when...

Reducing the energy cost of walking with low assistance levels through optimized hip flexion assistance from a soft exosuit.

Scientific reports
As we age, humans see natural decreases in muscle force and power which leads to a slower, less efficient gait. Improving mobility for both healthy individuals and those with muscle impairments/weakness has been a goal for exoskeleton designers for d...

Restorative rehabilitation robotics to promote function, independence and dignity: users' perspectives on clinical applications.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
People with mobility impairments have reported that improving their walking is one of the most important goals of their rehabilitation. Novel robotic technologies using powered exoskeletons for the lower limb could potentially offer efficient and les...

Recent Advances in Bipedal Walking Robots: Review of Gait, Drive, Sensors and Control Systems.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Currently, there is an intensive development of bipedal walking robots. The most known solutions are based on the use of the principles of human gait created in nature during evolution. Modernbipedal robots are also based on the locomotion manners of...
