An adaptable ankle trajectory generation method for lower-limb exoskeletons by means of safety constraints computation and minimum jerk planning

ICRA 2024poster

This paper presents a method to compute smooth ankle trajectories for lower limb exoskeletons with powered ankle joints. The proposed approach defines ankle trajectories using four polynomial functions, each representing one of the four primary phases of gait. These polynomials are computed accordin…

An Over-Actuated Bionic Knee Prosthesis: Modeling, Design and Preliminary Experimental Characterization

ICRA 2022poster

A pressing challenge in the design of actuated knee prostheses is the ability to address the high variation of speed and torque requirements for the different types and phases of locomotion. This manuscript presents a novel over-actuated knee prosthesis which makes use of a dual motor actuation arch…

Hannes Prosthesis Control Based on Regression Machine Learning Algorithms

IROS 2021

The quality of life for upper limb amputees can be greatly improved by the adoption of poly-articulated myoelectric prostheses. Typically, in these applications, a pattern recognition algorithm is used to control the system by converting the recorded electromyographic activity (EMG) into complex mul

Analysis, Development and Evaluation of Electro-Hydrostatic Technology for Lower Limb Prostheses Applications

IROS 2020poster

This paper presents electro-hydrostatic actuation as a valid substitute of electro-mechanical devices for powered knee prostheses. The work covers the design of a test rig exploiting linear electro-hydrostatic actuation. Typical control laws for prosthesis actuators are discussed, implemented and va…

Gait patterns generation based on basis functions interpolation for the TWIN lower-limb exoskeleton

ICRA 2020poster

Since the uprising of new biomedical orthotic devices, exoskeletons have been put in the spotlight for their possible use in rehabilitation. Even if these products might share some commonalities among them in terms of overall structure, degrees of freedom and possible actions, they quite often diffe…
