Existing adaptive locomotion control mechanisms for legged robots are usually aimed at one specific type of adaptation and rarely combined with others. Adaptive mechanisms thus stay at a conceptual level without their coupling effect with other mecha...
Gait performance is an important marker of motor and cognitive decline in older adults. An instrumented gait analysis resorting to inertial sensors allows the complete evaluation of spatiotemporal gait parameters, offering an alternative to laborator...
The invention of soft wearable assistive devices, known as exosuits, introduced a new aspect in assisting unimpaired subjects. In this study, we designed and developed an exosuit with compliant biarticular thigh actuators called BATEX. Unlike the con...

Neural information decomposed from electromyography (EMG) signals provides a new path of EMG-based human-machine interface. Instead of the motor unit decomposition-based method, this work presents a novel neural interface for human gait tracking base...
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to identify the effects of pedestrian physique differences on head injury prediction in car-to-pedestrian accidents via deep learning.
Inhalation exposure to the resuspended biological particles from public places can cause adverse effects on human health. In this work, carpet dust samples were first collected from twenty example conference and hotel rooms by a vacuum cleaner. A bip...
Mobile robotic platforms have made inroads in the rehabilitation area as gait assistance devices. They have rarely been used for human gait monitoring and analysis. The integration of mobile robots in this field offers the potential to develop multip...
Exoskeletons have the potential to assist users and augment physical ability. To achieve these goals across users, individual variation in muscle activation patterns when using an exoskeleton need to be evaluated. This study examined individual muscl...
Exoskeletons can enhance human mobility, but we still know little about why they are effective. For example, we do not know the relative importance of training, how much is required, or what type is most effective; how people adapt with the device; o...
