Simulation Analysis of Linear Quadratic Regulator Control of Sagittal-Plane Human Walking—Implications for Exoskeletons
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The linear quadratic regulator (LQR) is a classical optimal control approach that can regulate gait dynamics about target kinematic trajectories. Exoskeletons to restore gait function have conventionally utilized time-varying ...
Identification of Postural Controllers in Human Standing Balance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Standing balance is a simple motion task for healthy humans but the actions of the central nervous system (CNS) have not been described by generalized and sufficiently sophisticated control laws. While system identification ...
Backstepping Control of Open-Chain Linkages Actuated by Antagonistic Hill Muscles
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For human–machine interaction, the forward progression of technology, particularly controls, regularly brings about new possibilities. Indeed, healthcare applications have flourished in recent years, including robotic ...
The Contribution of the Acetabular Labrum to Hip Joint Stability: A Quantitative Analysis Using a Dynamic Three Dimensional Robot Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The acetabular labrum provides mechanical stability to the hip joint in extreme positions where the femoral head is disposed to subluxation. We aimed to quantify the isolated labrum's stabilizing value. Five human cadaveric ...
