Leg Force Control Through Biarticular Muscles for Human Walking Assistance

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2018
Assistive devices can be considered as one of the main applications of legged locomotion research in daily life. In order to develop an efficient and comfortable prosthesis or exoskeleton, biomechanical studies on human locomotion are very useful.

Validation of Cable-Driven Experimental Setup to Assess Movements Made with Elbow Joint Assistance

Applied Sciences
This article investigates a cable-driven experimental setup to simulate elbow joint assistance in the sagittal plane provided by an exosuit. Cable-driven exosuits, particularly fabric-based designs, significantly enhance rehabilitation by enabling ...

Design and Evaluation of a Bilateral Semi-Rigid Exoskeleton to Assist Hip Motion

Biomimetics
This study focused on designing and evaluating a bilateral semi-rigid hip exoskeleton. The exoskeleton assisted the hip joint, capitalizing on its proximity to the body’s center of mass.

User-Tailored Learning to Forecast Walking Modes for Exosuits

CoRR
Assistive robotic devices, like soft lower-limb exoskeletons or exosuits, are widely spreading with the promise of helping people in everyday life. To make such systems adaptive to the variety of users wearing them, it is desirable to endow exosuits with advanced perception systems.
