A Novel Approach to Simulating Realistic Exoskeleton Behavior in Response to Human Motion

Robotics
Simulation models are a valuable tool for exoskeleton development, especially for system optimization and evaluation. It allows an assessment of the performance and effectiveness of exoskeletons even at an early stage of their development without ...

A Compatible Design of a Passive Exoskeleton to Reduce the Body–Exoskeleton Interaction Force

Machines, 2022
In the research and development of a passive exoskeleton, the body–exoskeleton coupling mode is a key point to reduce the interaction force and realize the efficient assistance of the exoskeleton.

Anaplasma pathogen infection alters chemical composition of the exoskeleton of hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae)

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2020
Ticks are arthropod ectoparasites and vectors of pathogens affecting human and animal health worldwide. The exoskeleton is a structure that protect arthropods from natural threats such as predators and diseases.

Optimized hip–knee–ankle exoskeleton assistance at a range of walking speeds

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2021
Background Autonomous exoskeletons will need to be useful at a variety of walking speeds, but it is unclear how optimal hip–knee–ankle exoskeleton assistance should change with speed.

Research on the Influence of Exoskeletons on Human Characteristics by Modeling and Simulation Using the AnyBody Modeling System

Applied Sciences, 2023
Lower limb-powered exoskeletons can help rehabilitate patients with lower limb disabilities. However, the changes in the biomechanical load on the human body when exoskeletons are used are still poorly understood.

Modeling and Design of a Spring-loaded, Cable-driven, Wearable Exoskeleton for the Upper Extremity [PDF]

Modeling, Identification and Control, 2015
An approach to the design of wearable exoskeletons on the basis of simulation of the exoskeleton and a human body model is proposed in this paper. The new approach, addressing the problem of physical human-exoskeleton interactions, models and simulates ...

Electrically Driven Lower Limb Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Robot Based on Anthropomorphic Design

Machines, 2022
To help people with impairment of lower extremity movement regain the ability to stand and walk, and to enhance limb function, this study proposes an anthropomorphic design of an electrically driven, lower-limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot.

Performance estimation of the lower limb exoskeleton for plantarflexion using surface electromyography (sEMG) signals

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2017
In this paper, we evaluate the performance of the rigid and soft exoskeleton by measuring electromyography (sEMG) signal of human lower limb muscles. sEMG represents the degree of muscle activation and the higher sEMG level can be measured if the greater
