The implementation of control algorithms oriented to robotic assistance and rehabilitation
tasks for people with motor disabilities has been of increasing interest in recent years …

The closed-loop human–robot system requires developing an effective robotic controller that
considers models of both the human and the robot, as well as human adaptation to the …

This paper proposes a novel standing assistance robot, which realizes voluntary movements
of the patient within a safety motion range. In the previous studies, conventional assistive …

Evaluating exoskeleton actuation methods and designing an effective controller for these
exoskeletons are both challenging and time-consuming tasks. This is largely due to the …

Lower-limb exoskeletons provide people who suffer from lower limb impairments with an
opportunity to stand up and ambulate. Standing up is a crucial task for lower-limb …

In this work we present a lower limb haptic exoskeleton suitable for patient rehabilitation,
specifically in the presence of illness on postural equilibrium. Exoskeletons have been …

With the aging of the population and the consequent severe shortage of caregivers, the
demand for care robots to assist the elderly is increasing. However, care robots have yet to …

The rising aging population has escalated the need for physically assistive robots to aid the
elderly, potentially taking over some roles of caregivers. However, a general unease exists …

The importance of care robots is growing owing to the increasing numbers of the elderly and
the shortage of caregivers. For robots to automatically assist the movements of the elderly …

The zero moment point (ZMP) and the linearized inverted pendulum model linking the ZMP
to the center of gravity (COG) have an important role in the control of the postural equilibrium …
