Recent 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) techniques for visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) have significantly progressed in tracking and high-fidelity mapping. However, their sequential optimization framework and sensitivity to dynamic objects limit real-time performance and robustness i…
Nonlinear compliant actuators are being increasingly used in human-robot interaction scenarios due to their inherent flexibility. However, a limitation is that nonlinear hysteresis exists, which will degrade the force/torque tracking performance if the hysteresis is not modeled accurately. Moreover,
The emergence of 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has recently ignited a renewed wave of research in dense visual SLAM. However, existing approaches encounter challenges, including sensitivity to artifacts and noise, suboptimal selection of training viewpoints, and the absence of global optimization. In
Gait phase detection is crucial to realize personalized assistive functions of lower limb exoskeletons. A common method in gait phase estimation is the adaptive oscillator, which performs well in periodic gaits. However, these types of methods fail in gait phase estimation under aperiodic gait cycle
This paper presents a novel portable passive lower limb exoskeleton for walking assistance. The exoskeleton is designed with built-in spring mechanisms at the hip and knee joints to realize gravity balancing of the human leg. A pair of mating gears is used to convert the tension force from the built…
