Abstract: This paper attempts to address the quandary of flexible-joint humanoid balancing performance augmentation, via the introduction of the Full-State Feedback Variable Impedance Control (FSFVIC), and Model-Free Compliant ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel reconfigurable exoskeleton for ankle rehabilitation, which is capable of realizing both static and dynamic rehabilitation exercises. The conceptual design is based on a reduced representation ...

Abstract: This article presents a novel ankle rehabilitation exoskeleton for poststroke patients, the rotational center of which can automatically conform to each individual user’s ankle complex, once they wear the exoskeleton

Abstract: Reconfigurable robotic hands can constitute one of the future trends of dexterous manipulator design, as they can strike a balance between precision, force exertion, flexibility, and adaptability. However, the feasible ...

Abstract: Abstract. This article presents a novel frequency domain-based approach for function generation synthesis in planar multiloop mechanisms featuring two independent kinematic loops. To our knowledge, this is the first extension ...

Abstract: This paper presents unified control schemes for compliant humanoid robots that are aimed at ensuring successful execution of both balancing tasks and walking trajectories for this class of bipeds, given the complexity of ...

Abstract: This closure exposes the technical inconsistencies, erroneous comments, and misconceptions contained in the Discussion Article (Medrano-Cerda, 2020, “Discussion: ‘Selective Compliance-Based Lagrange Model and Multilevel ...

Abstract: Abstract. This article presents the internally-hidden linkage (IHL), a novel self-reconfigurable mechanism featuring encapsulated prismatic–revolute (PR) joints. The IHL enables real-time topological adaptation of workspace, ...
