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

Jinsoo Kim, Roman Heimgartner, Giuk Lee, Nikos Karavas, David Perry, Danielle Louise Ryan +5

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…

Giuk Lee, Ye Ding, Ignacio Galiana Bujanda, Nikos Karavas, Yu Meng Zhou, Conor J. Walsh

IROS 2017poster

In this paper, we present a design and control approach of a modular off-board actuation system with mono-articular hip exosuit, enabling the instantaneous assistive profile modification of magnitude, shape, and timing. The off-board system consists an actuation unit with two degrees of freedom that…
