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 ...

Preference-Based Learning for Exoskeleton Gait Optimization [PDF]
, 2020 This paper presents a personalized gait optimization framework for lower-body exoskeletons. Rather than optimizing numerical objectives such as the mechanical cost of transport, our approach directly learns from user preferences, e.g., for comfort ...

Duplicated female receptacle organs for traumatic insemination in the tropical bed bug Cimex hemipterus: adaptive variation or malformation? [PDF]
, 2014 During mating, male bed bugs (Cimicidae) pierce the female abdomen to inject sperm using their needle-like genitalia. Females evolved specialized paragenital organs (the spermalege and associated structures) to receive traumatically injected ejaculates ...

Human Preference-Based Learning for High-dimensional Optimization of Exoskeleton Walking Gaits [PDF]
, 2020 Optimizing lower-body exoskeleton walking gaits for user comfort requires understanding users’ preferences over a high-dimensional gait parameter space. However, existing preference-based learning methods have only explored low-dimensional domains due to

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.
