Most prosthetic limbs can autonomously move with dexterity, yet they are not perceived by
the user as belonging to their own body. Robotic limbs can convey information about the …

Technological advancements have led to the development of numerous wearable robotic
devices for the physical assistance and restoration of human locomotion. While many …

Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in medical robots are bringing a new era to medicine.
Advanced medical robots can perform diagnostic and surgical procedures, aid rehabilitation …

Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically slow and metabolically expensive.
Passive assistive devices such as ankle-foot orthoses are often prescribed to increase …

Robotic leg prostheses promise to improve the mobility and quality of life of millions of
individuals with lower-limb amputations by imitating the biomechanics of the missing …

Background The inability of users to directly and intuitively control their state-of-the-art
commercial prosthesis contributes to a low device acceptance rate. Since Electromyography …

Modern wearable robots are not yet intelligent enough to fully satisfy the demands of end-
users, as they lack the sensor fusion algorithms needed to provide optimal assistance and …

We present a lightweight robotic knee prosthesis with a novel hybrid actuation system that
enables passive and active operation modes. The proposed hybrid knee uses a spring …

Above-knee amputation severely reduces the mobility and quality of life of millions of
individuals. Walking with available leg prostheses is highly inefficient, and poor walking …

Lower limb prostheses that can generate net positive mechanical work may restore more
ambulation modes to amputees. However, configuration of these devices imposes an …
