Design and Evaluation of a Wearable Powered Foot Orthosis with Metatarsophalangeal Joint
Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2018 The metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints play critical roles in human locomotion. Functional restriction or loss of MTP joints will lead to lower walking speed, poorer walking balance, and more consumed metabolic energy cost compared with normal walking ...

Pattern Generation for Walking on Slippery Terrains
, 2017 In this paper, we extend state of the art Model Predictive Control (MPC) approaches to generate safe bipedal walking on slippery surfaces. In this setting, we formulate walking as a trade off between realizing a desired walking velocity and preserving ...
