An Knee Joint Exoskeleton Device Based on Biological Motion Principle
2021 IEEE International Conference on Real-time Computing and Robotics (RCAR), 2021In this paper, it presents a knee joint exoskeleton device that is designed based on the biological motion principle of human knee joint. Since human joint has different muscle patterns (also called as powering pattern), the design of exoskeleton should not only consider aligning the instantaneous center of joint rotation, but also consider following ...

Navigating the FDA Medical Device Regulatory Pathways for Pediatric Lower Limb Exoskeleton Devices
IEEE Systems Journal, 2021There have been significant advances in the technologies for robot-assisted lower limb rehabilitation in the past decade. However, the development of similar systems for children has been slow despite the fact that children with conditions, such as cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and spinal cord injury (SCI), can benefit greatly from these technologies ...

The Next Generation of Exoskeletons: Lighter, Cheaper Devices Are in the Works
IEEE Pulse, 2012Many researchers and engineers are busy in their laboratories working on devices that will bring mobility to people who have lost function in the lower body due to an accident, stroke, multiple sclerosis, or other disorders. "Several pretty sophisticated exoskeletons are already on the market now, and they are all similar to each other in terms of ...

Sensing User Input on a Human Exoskeleton Device
Volume 3: Industrial Applications; Modeling for Oil and Gas, Control and Validation, Estimation, and Control of Automotive Systems; Multi-Agent and Networked Systems; Control System Design; Physical Human-Robot Interaction; Rehabilitation Robotics; Sensing and Actuation for Control; Biomedical Systems; Time Delay Systems and Stability; Unmanned Ground and Surface Robotics; Vehicle Motion Controls; Vibration Analysis and Isolation; Vibration and Control for Energy Harvesting; Wind Energy, 2014To practically help those with limited mobility disorders, human exoskeletons need to be intelligent devices that not only guide the pilot along a particular gait but do so in a manner that is comfortable to the pilot and sensitive to pilot intent. This paper proposes sensing the user’s intent and then weighing gait tracking with amplifying the user’s ...

Development of a powered variable-stiffness exoskeleton device for elbow rehabilitation
Biomedical Microdevices, 2018Robot-assisted movement training by means of exoskeleton devices has been proven to be an effective method for post-stroke patients to recover their motor function. However, in order to be used in home-based rehabilitation, the kinematic structure of a wearable exoskeleton device should provide portability and make allowances for the natural joint ...

Teaching the robot by guidance using an exoskeleton device in assembly lines
Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Ubiquitous Information Management and Communication, 2013Robots used in industry rely on complex and time-consuming programming, such as a teaching panel and offline programming. Different intuitive programming methods have been proposed to overcome this drawback. A method using a force/torque sensor is practical and has been used in several organizations.

Energy Analysis Method and Walking Simulation with Exoskeleton Assistive Devices
2020 IEEE 16th International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC), 2020Exoskeleton type robots are expected to support the independence of the elderly. Exoskeleton type robots are attached to the body and assists human motions. A large power is needed to assist human motions. However, actuators that can deliver great power are very heavy.

Lock and Train Exofinger: Wearable finger blocking exoskeleton device
2017 IEEE 14th International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC), 2017This paper briefly present a new device concept, namely Exofinger, for patients recovering from finger tendon injuries. The goal of this device is to perform repetitive motions of flexing and extending the injured fingers for the patient with ease. Although the current device is still in prototype phase and lack human trials, it is able to perform well
