Abstract: Active prostheses can provide net positive work to individuals with amputation, offering more versatility across locomotion tasks than passive prostheses. However, the effect of powered joints on bilateral biomechanics has ...

Abstract: Crouch gait is one of the most common compensatory walking patterns found in individuals with neurological disorders, often accompanied by their limited physical capacity. Notable kinematic characteristics of crouch gait ...

Abstract: Series elastic actuators (SEAs) are increasingly popular in wearable robotics due to their high fidelity closed-loop torque control capability. Therefore, it has become increasingly important to characterize its performance ...

Abstract: We describe a simulation environment that enables the design and testing of control policies for off-road mobility of autonomous agents. The environment is demonstrated in conjunction with the training and assessment of a ...

Abstract: Community ambulation is essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, but it poses significant challenges for individuals with limb loss due to complex task demands. In wearable robotics, particularly powered prostheses, ...
