Development of active lower limb robotic-based orthosis and exoskeleton devices: a systematic review

B Kalita, J Narayan, SK Dwivedy - International Journal of Social Robotics, 2021 - Springer
The basic routine movements for elderly people are not easily accessible due to the weak
muscles and impaired nerves in their lower extremity. In the last few years, many robotic …

The flow of human crowds
