This paper describes a novel passive exoskeleton for voluntary sitting-standing posture transition for children with lower limb impairment. The design of the exoskeleton is based on the utilization of the center of gravity transition through the user's upper body motion. The passive exoskeleton powe…
In this paper, we propose the design of an exoskeleton with support at the knee joint and lower torso for sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit (STS) posture transitions; devised for users with spinal cord injury and other complete lower-body impairments. The STS transitions assistance is achieved through a…
This letter presents a physical human-robot interaction scenario in which a robot guides and performs the role of a teacher within a defined dance training framework. A combined cognitive and physical feedback of performance is proposed for assisting the skill learning process. Direct contact cooper
In this paper, we introduce a concept of passive knee exoskeleton for cycling assistance. Considering a knee moment and a knee angle varying with a pedal crank angle, the knee extension moment can be supported by a torsion spring storing energy from knee flexion in order to release it as the knee is…
