Exoskeletons are robots that closely interact with humans and that are increasingly used for
different purposes, such as rehabilitation, assistance in the activities of daily living (ADLs) …

Wearable robotics, also called exoskeletons, have been engineered for human-centered
assistance for decades. They provide assistive technologies for maintaining and improving …

This article expounds the design and control of a new variable stiffness series elastic
actuator (VSSEA). It is established by employing a modular mechanical design approach …

Disability is defined as a condition of the human body that limits the execution of a task or
activity. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 15% of the world's population …

In order to strengthen the participation of stroke patients in rehabilitation training and
weaken the dependence of steady-state visually evoked potential (SSVEP)-based brain …

Musculoskeletal robot with high precision and robustness is a promising direction for the
next generation of robots. However, motion learning and rapid generalization of complex …

Dynamic behaviour of the pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA) is conventionally modelled as a
pressure-based first-order equation under discrete loads, which cannot exactly describe its …

The paper presents the design optimization of the ASPIRE spherical parallel robot for
shoulder rehabilitation following clinical evaluation and clinicians' feedback. After the …

There is a broad consensus that stroke rehabilitation interventions within the first 3–6
months after stroke can result in maximizing post-stroke recovery. However, in middle-and …

Background: Artificial muscles are an active research area now. Methods: A bibliometric
analysis was performed to evaluate the development of artificial muscles based on research …
