Theory of Fast Walking With Human-Driven Load-Carrying Robot Exoskeletons
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022 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 ...

Robot-Assisted Nephropexy [PDF]
International braz j urol, 2018 Renal ptosis is defined as the renal descent when there is a change from supine to orthostatic position, usually with a change of two vertebral bodies or more than five cm apart. Although rare, it is one of the causes of chronic flank pain or of upper abdomen. The typical patient of renal ptosis is young, female, thin, with complaint of pain when in an
