Metabolic cost of walking with electromechanical ankle exoskeletons under proportional myoelectric control on a treadmill and outdoors [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Lower limb robotic exoskeletons are often studied in the context of steady state treadmill walking in a laboratory environment. However, the end goal for exoskeletons is to be used in real world, complex environments. To reach the point that exoskeletons

Can humans perceive the metabolic benefit provided by augmentative exoskeletons?
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2022 Background The purpose of augmentative exoskeletons is to help people exceed the limitations of their human bodies, but this cannot be realized unless people choose to use these exciting technologies.
