A Single-Joint Implementation of Flow Control: Knee Joint Walking Assistance for Individuals With Mobility Impairment.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper describes the implementation of a movement control method for lower limb exoskeletons with single-joint actuation. In such applications, the single-joint must coordinate movement with other non-controlled joints. The authors have previousl...

A randomized controlled study incorporating an electromechanical gait machine, the Hybrid Assistive Limb, in gait training of patients with severe limitations in walking in the subacute phase after stroke.

PloS one
Early onset, intensive and repetitive, gait training may improve outcome after stroke but for patients with severe limitations in walking, rehabilitation is a challenge. The Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) is a gait machine that captures voluntary action...

Modeling of the neural mechanism underlying the terrestrial turning of the salamander.

Biological cybernetics
In order to explore the neural mechanism underlying salamander terrestrial turning, an improved biomechanical model is proposed by modifying the forelimb structure of the existing biomechanical model. Based on the proposed improved biomechanical mode...

Effects of exoskeletal gait assistance on the recovery motion following tripping.

PloS one
Physical assistant robots improve the user's ability to walk. However, they also potentially affect recovery motion following tripping. The assist algorithm should not interfere with the recovery motion, and should enhance the ability of the user to ...

Variable stiffness morphing limb for amphibious legged robots inspired by chelonian environmental adaptations.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Robotic vehicles capable of transition from aquatic to terrestrial locomotion face considerable challenges associated with propulsive efficiency and performance in each environment. Here we present a morphing amphibious robotic limb that combines the...

A Steering Algorithm for Redirected Walking Using Reinforcement Learning.

IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics
Redirected Walking (RDW) steering algorithms have traditionally relied on human-engineered logic. However, recent advances in reinforcement learning (RL) have produced systems that surpass human performance on a variety of control tasks. This paper i...

Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of a Body Weight Support System.

Journal of healthcare engineering
This paper proposes a body weight support (BWS) system with a series elastic actuator (SEA) to facilitate walking assistance and motor relearning during gait rehabilitation. This system comprises the following: a mobile platform that ensures movement...

Tip-Over Stability Analysis of a Pelvic Support Walking Robot.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Discussed in this paper is the tip-over stability analysis of a pelvic support walking robot. To improve the activities of daily living (ADL) in hemiplegic patients, a pelvic support walking robot is proposed to help patients facilitating their rehab...

A Multi-Modal Person Perception Framework for Socially Interactive Mobile Service Robots.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In order to meet the increasing demands of mobile service robot applications, a dedicated perception module is an essential requirement for the interaction with users in real-world scenarios. In particular, multi sensor fusion and human re-identifica...
