Exoskeletons possess a high potential for assisting the human workforce while eliminating
or reducing the risk of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs). However, their …

This article presents the system integration, sensing, and control of a novel modular soft-
rigid pneumatic exoskeleton for lower limb. The proposed exoskeleton consists of three soft …

In the present work, the modeling of a human arm has been carried out in its antagonistic
actuation mode. Here, the functions of the biceps and triceps muscles are replaced by a …

In assistive robotics applications, the human limb is attached intimately to the robotic
exoskeleton. The coupled dynamics of the human-exoskeleton system are highly nonlinear …

The use of exoskeletons as an aid for people with musculoskeletal disorder is the subject to
an increasing interest in the research community. These devices are expected to meet the …

This article presents a study on a new high torque asymmetric dual chamber soft actuator
(ADCSA), aimed to discover the bending performance of ADCSA as an actuator on the …

This paper presents the design, modeling, and control of a novel soft-rigid knee joint robot
(SR-KR) for assisting motion. SR-KR is proposed to assist patients with knee joint injuries …

When it comes to safety at the workplace, palm oil harvesters are highly exposed to body
pain and muscular fatigue, which in the long term may lead to permanent spinal or shoulder …

attention due to the favorable advantages that PMA has to offer such as inherent compliant
safety, compactness, dust-resistant and powerful, especially for rehabilitation application …

As a result of aging, hand strength reduces significantly. This leads to insufficient grab and
pinch strength needed to perform daily activities such as preparing tea and holding cups …
