Just like in humans vision plays a fundamental role in guiding adaptive locomotion, when designing the control strategy for a walking assistive technology, the use of computer vision may substantially improve modulation of the assistance based on the external environment. In this letter, we develope
In the field of rehabilitation robotics, transparent, precise and intuitive control of hand exoskeletons still represents a substantial challenge. In particular, the use of compliant systems often leads to a trade-off between lightness and material flexibility, and control precision. In this letter,
Physically demanding work is still common in western countries, with large proportions of the workforce that are exposed for more than a quarter of their working time to tiring postures or repetitive tasks: the shoulder is one of the main body areas susceptible to work-related musculo-skeletal disor
Reproducing the mechanisms of human locomotion is a hard challenge. Assistive wearable devices in this context need to be lightweight, portable, and to adapt to the wearer’s walking pattern. Aiming to combine the aforementioned features, we developed a soft wearable exosuit to assist hip flexion dur
In recent years soft wearable exoskeletons, commonly referred to as exosuits, have been widely exploited in human assistance. Hence, a shared approach for a systematic and exhaustive control architecture is extremely important. Most of the exosuits developed so far employ a bowden cable transmission
In recent years, bowden-cable transmissions have been developed and utilized widely in many robotic applications due to advantages in durability, lightweight, safety, and flexibility. Especially, over the last decade, a substantial number of soft wearable exoskeletons using bowden cables for motion…
