The interactive control of lower limb exoskeleton robots (LLERs) is important to achieve
compliance and safety. Significant challenges in the interactive control of LLERs include …

The electrification of many mobile applications such as wearable robots has led to the need
for carrying batteries to store electrical energy. However, low-efficient actuators require …

Gait rehabilitation programs help individuals who sustained a brain injury or severe lower-
leg trauma realize their full recovery potential. While robotic exoskeletons have emerged as …

In this study, an intelligent adaptive interaction torque control for a pneumatically actuated
forearm rehabilitation robot has been proposed. The main objective is to provide a haptic …

Aiming at the problem that the rigid exoskeleton has insufficient compliance due to
mechanical vibration in the human-robot cooperation motion and can only move within a …

Variable stiffness actuators (VSA) have attracted much attention because of their potential
for human-like interaction behaviors. This paper devotes to improving the VSA's versatility …

In this paper, the structural design of a variable stiffness actuator (VSA) is proposed, and the
variable stiffness characteristics of the VSA are studied. The VSA is compact and can be …

This paper presents a novel cam-based variable stiffness actuator (VSA). It significantly
differs from its counterparts in that the external load distributes on its two motors with a small …

Elderly people may lose the ability to walk normally as their muscles weaken, or it may be
difficult for them to maintain balance while walking. In addition to aging, nerve damage such …

The use of flexible mechanisms has been increasing in the recent years. This is due of the
advantages that offer with respect to rigid mechanism. However, the method to study them …
