Background: With the projected upsurge in the percentage of people with some form of
disability, there has been a significant increase in the need for assistive mobility devices …

Mobility loss has a major impact on autonomy. Smart rollators have been proposed to
enhance human abilities when conventional devices are not enough. Many human–robot …

In this work, we present a novel framework for on-line human gait stability prediction of the
elderly users of an intelligent robotic rollator using Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) …

In this letter, we tackle the problem of adapting the motion of a robotic assistant rollator to
patients with different mobility status. The goal is to achieve a coupled human–robot motion …

Background: Adherence to prescribed medical interventions can predict the efficacy of the
treatment. In physical health clinics, not adhering to prescribed therapy can take the form of …

Background Control system design for a microprocessor-controlled hip–knee–ankle–foot
(HKAF) prosthesis is a challenge since hip disarticulation amputees lack the entire leg and …

We present the i-Walk system, a novel framework for intelligent mobility assistance
applications. The proposed system is capable of automatically understanding human …

The rising aging population has escalated the need for physically assistive robots to aid the
elderly, potentially taking over some roles of caregivers. However, a general unease exists …

The importance of care robots is growing owing to the increasing numbers of the elderly and
the shortage of caregivers. For robots to automatically assist the movements of the elderly …

Nowadays, the ratio of elderly people per caregiver is increasing, and the statistics confirm
that this trend will continue for decades. Healthcare systems need to change to support this …
