Development of Multi-axis Motor Control Systems for Lower Limb Robotic Exoskeleton

Developing a Mobile Lower Limb Robotic Exoskeleton for Gait Rehabilitation

A new compact mobile lower limb robotic exoskeleton (MLLRE) has been developed for gait rehabilitation for neurologically impaired patients. This robotic exoskeleton is composed of two exoskeletal orthoses, an active body weight support (BWS) system attached to a motorized mobile base, allowing over-ground walking. The exoskeletal orthosis is optimized to implement the extension and flexion of ...

Haptic Control of Multi-Axis Robotic Systems

Control of tele-operated remote robot’s is nothing new; the public was introduced to this ‘new’ field in 1986 when the Chernobyl cleanup began. Pictures of weird and wonderful robotic workers pouring concrete or moving rubble flooded the world. Integration of force feedback or ‘haptics’ to remote robot’s is a new development and one that is likely to make a big difference in manmachine interact...

Lower-Limb Wearable Exoskeleton

There are numerous causes that can affect the functioning of the human locomotor system, leading to the appearance of joint disorders in the lower limb and generating atypical gait patterns. The importance of research and development in assistance technologies to compensate pathological gait have been recognised since the beginning of the twentieth century and numerous challenges still lie ahea...

Upper-Limb Robotic Rehabilitation Exoskeleton: Tremor Suppression

The interest of the scientific community in medical Robotics and rehabilitation Robotics is growing every year. Rehabilitation Robotics aims to apply robotic technology (sensors, actuators, control) to the rehabilitation and assistance of disabled people. Only some years ago developers were able to implement viable robotic systems to assist a person with a functional limitation. Thus, devices h...
