In this work, the recent advances for rapid prototyping in the orthoprosthetic industry are
presented. Specifically, the manufacturing process of orthoprosthetic aids are analysed, as …

Exoskeletons and exosuits have witnessed unprecedented growth in recent years,
especially in the medical and industrial sectors. In order to be successfully integrated into …

Wearable robots (WRs) are increasingly moving out of the labs towards real-world
applications. In order for WRs to be effectively and widely adopted by end-users, a common …

The science and technology of wearable robots are steadily advancing, and the use of such
robots in our everyday life appears to be within reach. Nevertheless, widespread adoption of …

Due to differences in actuation and design, active and passive industrial back exoskeletons
could influence functional performance, ie, work performance, perceived task difficulty, and …

Physical human-robot interfaces are a challenging aspect of exoskeleton design, mainly due
to the fact that interfaces tend to migrate relatively to the body leading to discomfort and …

Exoskeletons are becoming the reference technology for assistance and augmentation of
human motor functions in a wide range of application domains. Unfortunately, the …

Compliant actuators are increasingly being designed for wearable robots (WRs) to more
adequately address their issues with safety, wearability, and overall system efficiency. The …

Background In the last decades, several powered ankle-foot orthoses have been developed
to assist the ankle joint of their users during walking. Recent studies have shown that the …

Measurements of pressure distribution on physical human–robot interfaces are crucial for
ensuring the comfort and safety of human–exoskeleton interactions. To address this need …
