A novel underwater bipedal walking soft robot bio-inspired by the coconut octopus.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In order to increase the compatibility between underwater robots and the underwater environment and inspired by the coconut octopus's underwater bipedal walking, a method was proposed for bipedal walking for an underwater soft robot based on a spring...

Applying deep neural networks and inertial measurement unit in recognizing irregular walking differences in the real world.

Applied ergonomics
Falling injuries pose serious health risks to people of all ages, and knowing the extent of exposure to irregular surfaces will increase the ability to measure fall risk. Current gait analysis methods require overly complicated instrumentation and ha...

Selection of Muscle-Activity-Based Cost Function in Human-in-the-Loop Optimization of Multi-Gait Ankle Exoskeleton Assistance.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Using "human-in-the-loop" (HIL) optimization can obtain suitable exoskeleton assistance patterns to improve walking economy. However, there are differences in these patterns under different gait conditions, and currently most HIL optimizations use me...

A Subvision System for Enhancing the Environmental Adaptability of the Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Visual information is indispensable to human locomotion in complex environments. Although amputees can perceive the environmental information by eyes, they cannot transmit the neural signals to prostheses directly. To augment human-prosthesis interac...

Effects of gait training with a voluntary-driven wearable cyborg, Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL), on quality of life in patients with neuromuscular disease, able to walk independently with aids.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
Robot-assisted gait training using a voluntary-driven wearable cyborg, Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL), has been shown to improve the mobility of patients with neurological disorders; however, its effect on the quality of life (QOL) of patients is not cl...

Torque Curve Optimization of Ankle Push-Off in Walking Bipedal Robots Using Genetic Algorithm.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Ankle push-off occurs when muscle-tendon units about the ankle joint generate a burst of positive power at the end of stance phase in human walking. Ankle push-off mainly contributes to both leg swing and center of mass (CoM) acceleration. Humans use...

Wearables and Deep Learning Classify Fall Risk From Gait in Multiple Sclerosis.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Falls are a significant problem for persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Yet fall prevention interventions are not often prescribed until after a fall has been reported to a healthcare provider. While still nascent, objective fall risk assessments...

A Model-Based Analysis of Supraspinal Mechanisms of Inter-Leg Coordination in Human Gait: Toward Model-Informed Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Stroke survivors are often left suffering from gait instability due to hemiparesis. This gait dysfunction can lead to higher fall rates and an overall decrease in quality of life. Though there are many post-stroke gait rehabilitation methods in use c...

Locomotor transitions in the potential energy landscape-dominated regime.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
To traverse complex three-dimensional terrain with large obstacles, animals and robots must transition across different modes. However, the most mechanistic understanding of terrestrial locomotion concerns how to generate and stabilize near-steady-st...

Assessment of spatiotemporal gait parameters using a deep learning algorithm-based markerless motion capture system.

Journal of biomechanics
Spatiotemporal parameters can characterize the gait patterns of individuals, allowing assessment of their health status and detection of clinically meaningful changes in their gait. Video-based markerless motion capture is a user-friendly, inexpensiv...
