Autonomous Multi-Joint Soft Exosuit for Assistance with Walking Overground

ICRA 2018poster

Soft exosuits are a new approach for assisting with human locomotion, which applies assistive torques to the wearer through functional apparel. In this paper, we present a new version of autonomous multi-joint soft exosuit for gait assistance, particularly designed for overground walking. The soft e…

Autonomous and Portable Soft Exosuit for Hip Extension Assistance with Online Walking and Running Detection Algorithm

ICRA 2018poster

We present an autonomous and portable hip-only soft exosuit, for augmenting human walking and running that assists hip extension by delivering peak forces of 300N to the user. Different fixed assistance profiles for walking and running were applied based on an online classification algorithm. The ap…

Controlling negative and positive power at the ankle with a soft exosuit

ICRA 2016

The soft exosuit is a new approach for applying assistive forces over the wearer's body through load paths configured by the textile architecture. In this paper, we present a body-worn lower-extremity soft exosuit and a new control approach that can independently control the level of assistance that

IMU-based iterative control for hip extension assistance with a soft exosuit

ICRA 2016

In this paper we describe an IMU-based iterative controller for hip extension assistance where the onset timing of assistance is based on an estimate of the maximum hip flexion angle. The controller was implemented on a mono-articular soft exosuit coupled to a lab-based multi-joint actuation platfor

Multi-joint soft exosuit for gait assistance

ICRA 2015poster

Exosuits represent a new approach for applying assistive forces to an individual, using soft textiles to interface to the wearer and transmit forces through specified load paths. In this paper we present a body-worn, multi-joint soft exosuit that assists both ankle plantar flexion and hip flexion th…
