Data-driven Characterization of Human Interaction for Model-based Control of Powered Prostheses [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This paper proposes a data-driven method for powered prosthesis control that achieves stable walking without the need for additional sensors on the human. The key idea is to extract the nominal gait and the human interaction information from motion capture data, and reconstruct the walking behavior with a dynamic model of the human-prosthesis system ...

A Learning Quasi-stiffness Control Framework of a Powered Trans-femoral Prosthesis for Adaptive Speed and Incline Walking [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Impedance-based control represents a prevalent strategy in the powered trans femoral prostheses because of its ability to reproduce natural walking. However, most existing studies have developed impedance-based prosthesis controllers for specific tasks, while creating a task-adaptive controller for variable-task walking continues to be a significant ...

Novel total hip surgery robotic system based on self-localization and optical measurement [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 This paper presents the development and experimental evaluation of a surgical robotic system for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although existing robotic systems used in joint replacement surgery have achieved some progresses, the robot arm must be situated accurately at the target position during operation, which depends significantly on the experience

How should we assess the mechanical properties of lower-limb prosthesis technology used in elite sport?: An initial investigation [PDF]
, 2013 Despite recent controversy, it is not yet formally recognised how lower-limb prosthesis should be assessed for their performance. To assist in this process, experiments are undertaken to investigate the linearity, stiffness and assessment of feet based ...
