Abstract: Oscillatory behavior is important for tasks, such as walking and running. We are developing methods for wearable robotics to add energy to enhance or vary the oscillatory behavior based on the system's phase angle. We ...

Abstract: Springbased actuators are important in the design of wearable robotic systems. These actuators can store and release energy, and reduce the peak power requirements. Reducing these requirements allows the system to function ...

Abstract: In this work, the lower extremity physiological parameters are recorded during normal walking gait, and the dynamical systems theory is applied to determine a stability analysis. The human walking gait pattern of kinematic ...

Abstract: Wearable robots including exoskeletons, powered prosthetics, and powered orthotics must add energy to the person at an appropriate time to enhance, augment, or supplement human performance. This “energy pumpingâ€‌ at ...
