Hybrid position/force control of an upper-limb exoskeleton for assisted drilling

2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2017
Exoskeletons are wearable robotic systems to assist the human body concerning power and accuracy. In this work, an upper limb exoskeleton with seven degrees of freedom provides haptic guidance to the user enhancing accuracy of the target position and constant thrust force during drilling tasks.

Lower Limb Exoskeleton with Hybrid Pneumaticaly Assisted Electric Drive: Models

2017
The paper considers a two-legged model of lower limb exoskeleton with hybrid pneumatically assisted electric drive. The main interest of the work is dynamics and motion laws of the control system of human stepping patterns. The exoskeleton is designed to help patients with lost the mobility of the lower limbs, in particular athletes and astronauts at ...

Sensing, processing and application of EMG signals for HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb)

International Conference on Sustainable Energy and Intelligent Systems (SEISCON 2011), 2011
Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) is an assistive technology device for supporting physically disabled persons by understanding the percentage of their disability. This work aims to design and develop a HAL based on Electromyogram (EMG) signals. The EMG signal is a biomedical signal that measures electrical currents generated by muscles. These signals can be

Upper-limb hybrid assist-as-need exoskeleton.

2018
Stroke is the second largest cause of disability in the world. Disability in the upper limb in particular, affects patient independence. Both mental and physical rehabilitation are important for effective recovery after a stroke. Hybrid exoskeletons are a recent development which combine Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) with actuators to improve

Gait training using a hybrid assistive limb (HAL) attenuates head drop: A case report

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2018
Dropped head syndrome (DHS) is characterized by a chin-on-chest deformity, which can severely interfere with forward vision and impair activities of daily living. A standardized treatment strategy for DHS has not been established. To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing the efficacy of gait training using a hybrid assistive limb (HAL)

Gait training of subacute stroke patients using a hybrid assistive limb: a pilot study

Disability and Rehabilitation: Assistive Technology, 2016
Purpose To determine whether gait training with a hybrid assistive limb (HAL) as an exoskeleton robotic device was safe and could increase functional mobility and gait ability in subacute stroke patients. Methods The participants were eight patients with post-stroke hemiparesis whose walking impairment and gait recovery curves had plateaued.

On the Design and Implementation of a Wearable Hybrid Assisted Lower Limb Orthosis

2012
The objective of this research is aimed to design and implement a Wearable Hybrid Assisted Lower Limb Orthosis (HALLO), which could provide up to 10% of knee torque support. The proposed device adopted a specially designed M-shaped flexible mechanism to store the potential energy due to different human body gestures, such as stand-to-sit, a DC motor ...
