Locomotion assistive devices equipped with a microprocessor can potentially automatically
adapt their behavior when the user is transitioning from one locomotion mode to another …

Terrain detection systems have been developed for a large body of applications. For
instance, a bionic leg prosthesis would have to adapt its behavior as a function of the terrain …

This paper aims to present a robust environmental features recognition system (EFRS) for
lower limb prosthesis, which can assist the control of prosthesis by predicting the locomotion …

Visual information is indispensable to human locomotion in complex environments.
Although amputees can perceive the environmental information by eyes, they cannot …

Human Locomotion Mode Recognition (LMR) has the potential to be used as a control
mechanism for lower-limb active prostheses. Active prostheses can assist and restore a …

Active transtibial prostheses, orthoses, and exoskeletons hold the promise of improving the
mobility of lower-limb impaired or amputated individuals. Locomotion mode identification …

The lower-limb robotic prostheses can provide assistance for amputees' daily activities by
restoring the biomechanical functions of missing limb (s). To set proper control strategies …

The last few years witnessed radical improvements in lower-limb prostheses. Researchers
have presented innovative solutions to overcome the limits of the first generation of …

Clinical translation of “intelligent” lower-limb assistive technologies relies on robust control
interfaces capable of accurately detecting user intent. To date, mechanical sensors and …

Accurately predicting human locomotion intent is beneficial in controlling wearable robots
