Human–Exoskeleton Interaction Force Estimation in Indego Exoskeleton
Robotics, 2023 Accurate interaction force estimation can play an important role in optimizing human–robot interaction in an exoskeleton. In this work, we propose a novel approach for the system identification of exoskeleton dynamics in the presence of interaction forces as a whole multibody system without imposing any constraints on the exoskeleton dynamics.

Enhancing performance during inclined loaded walking with a powered ankle-foot exoskeleton [PDF]
, 2014 A simple ankle-foot exoskeleton that assists plantarflexion during push-off can reduce the metabolic power during walking. This suggests that walking performance during a maximal incremental exercise could be improved with an exoskeleton if the ...
