Background Many lower-limb exoskeletons have been developed to assist gait, exhibiting a
large range of control methods. The goal of this paper is to review and classify these control …

Wearable robots are undergoing a disruptive transition, from the rigid machines that
populated the science-fiction world in the early 1980s to lightweight robotic apparel, hardly …

Research on robotic exoskeletons has rapidly expanded over the previous decade.
Advances in robotic hardware and energy supplies have enabled viable prototypes for …

As a typical application of the human-computer interaction device, the lower limb
exoskeleton has attracted many researchers' attention in recent years in an attempt to …

Neurologic injuries, such as stroke, spinal cord injuries, and weaknesses of skeletal muscles
with elderly people, may considerably limit the ability of this population to achieve the main …

Stroke affects one out of every six people on Earth. Approximately 90% of stroke survivors
have some functional disability with mobility being a major impairment, which not only …

This paper presents a survey of existing robotic systems for lower‐limb rehabilitation. It is a
general assumption that robotics will play an important role in therapy activities within …

The prospective robots in healthcare intended to be included within the conclave of the
nurse-patient relationship—what I refer to as care robots—require rigorous ethical reflection …

In the nearly six decades since researchers began to explore methods of creating them,
exoskeletons have progressed from the stuff of science fiction to nearly commercialized …

Wheeled vehicles are often incapable of transporting heavy materials over rough terrain or
up staircases. Lower extremity exoskeletons supplement human intelligence with the …
