A novel method for full locomotion compensation of an untethered walking insect.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Dec 6, 2016
In this study, we developed a novel unfixed-type experimental system that we call a '3-DOF servosphere.' This system comprises one sphere and three omniwheels that support the sphere. The measurement method is very simple. An experimental animal is p...
Approximate analytical solutions to the double-stance dynamics of the lossy spring-loaded inverted pendulum.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Dec 5, 2016
This paper introduces approximate time-domain solutions to the otherwise non-integrable double-stance dynamics of the 'bipedal' spring-loaded inverted pendulum (B-SLIP) in the presence of non-negligible damping. We first introduce an auxiliary system...
A Novel Elastic Force-Field to Influence Mediolateral Foot Placement During Walking.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Dec 1, 2016
Bipedal gait can be stabilized through mechanically-appropriate mediolateral foot placement, although this strategy is disrupted in a subset of neurologically injured individuals with balance deficits. The goal of the present work was to develop a de...
What do we learn about development from baby robots?
Wiley interdisciplinary reviews. Cognitive science
Dec 1, 2016
Understanding infant development is one of the great scientific challenges of contemporary science. In addressing this challenge, robots have proven useful as they allow experimenters to model the developing brain and body and understand the processe...
Locomotor training through a novel robotic platform for gait rehabilitation in pediatric population: short report.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Nov 14, 2016
BACKGROUND: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a disorder of posture and movement due to a defect in the immature brain. The use of robotic devices as alternative treatment to improve the gait function in patients with CP has increased. Nevertheless, current gai...
A water-walking robot mimicking the jumping abilities of water striders.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Oct 21, 2016
The highly efficient and agile water-surface locomotion of water striders has attracted substantial research attention. Compared with imitating the horizontal rowing motion, imitating the jumping capability of water striders is much more challenging ...
The immediate effects of robot-assistance on energy consumption and cardiorespiratory load during walking compared to walking without robot-assistance: a systematic review.
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Oct 20, 2016
PURPOSE: The integration of sufficient cardiovascular stress into robot-assisted gait (RAG) training could combine the benefits of both RAG and aerobic training. The aim was to summarize literature data on the immediate effects of RAG compared to wal...
Effect of timing of hip extension assistance during loaded walking with a soft exosuit.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Oct 3, 2016
BACKGROUND: Recent advances in wearable robotic devices have demonstrated the ability to reduce the metabolic cost of walking by assisting the ankle joint. To achieve greater gains in the future it will be important to determine optimal actuation par...
Technology-assisted stroke rehabilitation in Mexico: a pilot randomized trial comparing traditional therapy to circuit training in a Robot/technology-assisted therapy gym.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Sep 15, 2016
BACKGROUND: Stroke rehabilitation in low- and middle-income countries, such as Mexico, is often hampered by lack of clinical resources and funding. To provide a cost-effective solution for comprehensive post-stroke rehabilitation that can alleviate t...
Human-like compliant locomotion: state of the art of robotic implementations.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Aug 22, 2016
This review paper provides a synthetic yet critical overview of the key biomechanical principles of human bipedal walking and their current implementation in robotic platforms. We describe the functional role of human joints, addressing in particular...
