Exoskeletons for Human Performance Augmentation (EHPA): A Program Summary.

33. Exoskeletons for Human Performance Augmentation

Although autonomous robotic systems perform remarkably in structured environments (e.g., factories), integrated human–robotic systems are superior to any autonomous robotic systems in unstructured environments that demand significant adaptation. The technology associated with exoskeleton systems and human power augmentation can be divided into lower-extremity exoskeletons and upper-extremity ex...

Supporting Materials: Performance of prominent torque control methods for tethered lower-limb exoskeletons during human walking

Experiments were conducted over the course of 3 days, with all data for each high-level assistance controller collected on the same day. Low-level torque controllers were collected in the same order for each high-level controller, except for a change in the order of the PAS controller for the Time-based desired torque (which was accidentally skipped, then caught at the end of the collection). T...

Design of an Assistive Gait Device for Strength Endurance and Rehabilitation

1.1 Background Exoskeletons for human performance augmentation (EHPA) are controlled and wearable devices and machines that can increase the speed, strength, and endurance of the operator. EHPA is expected to do that by increasing the physical performance of the solider wearing it, including: • Increased payload: more fire power, more supplies, and thicker and heavier armor increasing the soldi...

Project Performance Summary Clean Coal Technology Demonstration Program

New Version Program Summary

Solution of the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov equations in the Cartesian deformed harmonic-oscillator basis. (IV) hfodd (v2.07f): a new version of the program. Abstract We describe the new version (v2.07f) of the code hfodd which solves the nuclear Skyrme-Hartree-Fock or Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov problem by using the Cartesian deformed harmonic-oscillator basis. In the new version, all sy...
