Modern concepts of motor learning favour intensive training directed to the neural networks
stimulation and reorganization within the spinal cord, the central pattern generator, by taking …

In recent years there has been a growing interest in the field of dynamic walking and bio-
inspired robots. However, while walking and running on a flat surface have been studied …

Biped robots have not achieved the efficient and harmonious locomotion of the human
beings, capable of walking and running on unstructured terrains, with obstacles, holes and …

Natural dynamic controllers aim to perform the desired task by exploiting the natural
dynamics of the system. This can be accomplished by generating torque patterns to actuate …

A significant feature of biped robots is the ability to walk passively (with no actuators) down a
slope [1][2](See Figure 1-1). Actuated bipedal robots can exploit this feature for power …

The objective of this research project was to develop and provide a dedicated man-machine
interaction method tailored for supervised autonomous systems. Implementation of an …

Actualmente a debilidade motora em países industrializados devido a deficiências neurais e
físicas é um fenómeno crescente de apreensão sendo expectável um contínuo aumento do …

Currently motor disability in industrialized countries due to neural and physical impairments
is an increasingly worrying phenomenon and the percentage of patients is expected to be …
