Previous research has shown that load-bearing with elastic suspension backpacks improves human biomechanics and reduces human energy expenditure. Constant-force suspension backpacks (CFSB) with zero stiffness were developed to minimize the inertial force of loads. However, there is a mismatch betwee
Preference-based optimizing methods have shown their advantages and potential in exploring individual, comfortable, and effective control strategies and assistance parameters of exoskeletons during locomotion. Research indicates that compared with naive wearers, knowledgeable wearers with abundant e…
Research has indicated that exoskeletons can assist human movement, but due to the influence of additional weight and challenges in control strategy design, only a few exoskeletons effectively reduce the wearers’ metabolic costs during running. This paper proposes an innovative and efficient hip-ass…
Supernumerary robotic limbs (SRL) are new types of wearable robots used as the third limb to work with humans. The device is designed to provide the wearer with better auxiliary ability. This paper presents the design and implementation of a Series-Parallel-Reconfigurable Tendon-driven Supernumerary
