Abnormal posture or movement is generally the indicator of musculoskeletal injuries or
diseases. Mechanical forces dominate the injury and recovery processes of musculoskeletal …

Human kinetics, specifically joint moments and ground reaction forces (GRFs) can provide
important clinical information and can be used to control assistive devices. Traditionally …

For active AFO applications, pneumatic remote transmission has advantages in minimizing
the mass and complexity of the system due to the flexibility in placing pneumatic …

In this article, we present a new mobile robot localization algorithm. The Kalman filter (KF)
and particle filter (PF), which are widely used in localization problems, may show poor …

In recent years, inflatable actuators have been widely used in wearable suits to assist
humans who need help in moving their joints. Despite their lightweight and simple structure …

This article presents a structural isotropy optimization method for six-axis capacitive force
sensor with a large moment-to-force ratio to minimize its measuring error in the strong cross …

In this letter, we developed a monolithic flexure-based three-axis ground reaction force
(GRF) sensor to analyze various gaits, including walking, running, and jum**. The GRF …

The estimation of lower-limb joint moments during locomotive activities can provide valuable
feedback in joint-injury risk evaluation and clinical diagnosis. The use of inertial …

In this study, a new low-cost, three-degree-of-freedom force sensor is developed to measure
Ground Reaction Forces (GRFs) and to be used in the safe control of active transfemoral …

Contact force sensing is necessary for robots to safely grasp and improve walking
performance. Motivated by the linkage-type geometry of robotic fingers and legs, this article …
