Generating electricity while walking with loads.
We have developed the suspended-load backpack, which converts mechanical energy from the vertical movement of carried loads (weighing 20 to 38 kilograms) to electricity during normal walking [generating up to 7.4 watts, or a 300-fold increase over previous shoe devices (20 milliwatts)]. Unexpectedly, little extra metabolic energy (as compared to that expended carrying a rigid backpack) is requi...
متن کاملMedial knee joint loading during stair ambulation and walking while carrying loads.
Carrying loads while walking or using stairs is a common activity of daily living. Knee osteoarthritis is associated with increased external knee adduction moment (KAM) during walking, so understanding how the additional challenges of stairs and carrying loads impact these moments is of value. Sixteen healthy individuals performed three types of MOTION (walking, stair ascent, stair descent) und...
متن کاملDynamic Bipedal Walking while Carrying an Unknown Time-Varying Load
In recent years, there has been tremendous interest in employing legged and humanoid robots for dangerous missions in disaster and rescue scenarios, requiring robots to operate swiftly and stably while dealing with high levels of uncertainty and large external disturbances. One such practical example is using a legged robot to carry and manipulate large and heavy objects whose mass is not known...
متن کاملMedial longitudinal arch deformation during walking and stair navigation while carrying loads.
BACKGROUND Understanding the biomechanics of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) may provide insights into injury risk and prevention, as well as function of the arch-supporting structures. Our understanding of MLA deformation is currently limited to sit-to-stand, walking, and running. MATERIAL AND METHODS Three-dimensional deformation of the MLA of the right foot was characterized in 17 healt...
متن کاملWalking on Uneven Terrain
Control of legged locomotion across uneven terrain is poorly understood from a theoretical perspective, despite strong relevance to clinical and robotic applications. Gait research has typically examined locomotion on smooth and level surfaces with uniform steps. Identifying key gait parameters that permit agile locomotion across uneven surfaces could lead to a clearer understanding of control ...
