Exoskeleton technology has made significant advances during the last decade, resulting in
a considerable variety of solutions for gait assistance and rehabilitation. The mechanical …

Lower-limb robotic exoskeletons have become powerful tools to assist or rehabilitate the gait
of subjects with impaired walking, even when they are designed to act only partially over the …

The pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) has attracted extensive attentions from both industrial
and academic fields due to its high power/weight ratio and significant compliance. However …

In this paper, the analysis of the intensity of muscle activations in different subjects when
they perform an industrial task in a repetitive way assisted by a robotic upper-limb …

Due to nonlinear friction and backlash characteristics of cable-driven mechanism (CDM) in
laparoscope surgical robot end-effector, it is difficult to predict force and control position …

Human motion intention (HMI) has increasingly gained concerns in lower limb exoskeletons
(LLEs). HMI recognition (HMIR) is the precondition for realizing active compliance control in …

Haptic rendering enables people to touch, perceive, and manipulate virtual objects in a
virtual environment. Using six cascaded identical hollow disk electromagnets and a small …

Reducing the errors of hysteresis models is of great significance for improving the accuracy
of controlling pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs). However, the irregularity and asymmetry …

This paper focuses on sensorless estimation of the interaction forces between the slave
manipulator and its surrounding environment in bilateral teleoperation system. The …

This study explored the potential of artificial emotions displayed by a robot to enhance
communication and increase human willingness to assist in situations where the robot is …
