Despite the abundance of studies on the control of standing balance, insights about the
roles of biomechanics and neural control have been limited. Previous work introduced an …

Neurological disorders and aging induce impaired gait kinematics. Despite recent
advances, effective methods using lower-limb exoskeleton robots to restore gait kinematics …

Maintaining balance while walking on a narrow beam is a challenging motor task. One
important factor is that the foot's ability to exert torque on the support surface is limited by the …

Background Upright standing requires control of an inherently unstable multi-joint human
body within a small base of support, despite biological motor and/or sensory noise which …

Interaction with the terrain is essential for legged robots to adapt to complex environment.
Field terrain could be steep, slippery, and muddy. Legged robots may sink on sand or mud …

Learning new skilled actions can be conceptualised as tuning into the control information
crucial to coordinating the successful completion of the to-be-learned movements. According …

Due to population ageing and increasing incidence of neurological disorders, the demand
for robotic technologies for assisting, augmenting, and restoring human locomotion is rapidly …
