Exoskeleton technology has made significant advances during the last decade, resulting in
a considerable variety of solutions for gait assistance and rehabilitation. The mechanical …

Walking and running have fundamentally different biomechanics, which makes developing
devices that assist both gaits challenging. We show that a portable exosuit that assists hip …

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in medical robots are bringing a new era to medicine.
Advanced medical robots can perform diagnostic and surgical procedures, aid rehabilitation …

Individuals with poststroke hemiparesis often exhibit mobility deficits, particularly during
tasks requiring high lower limb torques. The sit-to-stand transition is consistently marked by …

Background Soft wearable robots (exosuits), being lightweight, ergonomic and low power-
demanding, are attractive for a variety of applications, ranging from strength augmentation in …

Background Soft exosuits are a recent approach for assisting human locomotion, which
apply assistive torques to the wearer through functional apparel. Over the past few years …

Background Wearable assistive devices have demonstrated the potential to improve mobility
outcomes for individuals with disabilities, and to augment healthy human performance; …

Background Autonomous exoskeletons will need to be useful at a variety of walking speeds,
but it is unclear how optimal hip–knee–ankle exoskeleton assistance should change with …

Back injuries are the most prevalent work-related musculoskeletal disorders and represent a
major cause of disability. Although innovations in wearable robots aim to alleviate this …

Background Elevated energy cost is a hallmark feature of gait in older adults. As such, older
adults display a general avoidance of walking which contributes to declining health status …
