User preference is a promising objective for the control of robotic exoskeletons because it
may capture the multifactorial nature of exoskeleton use. However, to use it, we must first …

For centuries scientists and technologists have sought artificial leg replacements that fully
capture the versatility of their intact biological counterparts. However, biological gait requires …

Most impedance-based walking controllers for powered knee–ankle prostheses use a finite
state machine with dozens of user-specific parameters that require manual tuning by …

Lower-limb exoskeletons have the potential to transform the way we move,,,,,,,,,,,,–, but
current state-of-the-art controllers cannot accommodate the rich set of possible human …

Surface electromyogram (sEMG) offers a rich set of motor information for decoding limb
motion intention that serves as a control input to Intelligent human-machine synergy systems …

Positive biomechanical outcomes have been reported with lower limb exoskeletons in
laboratory settings, but these devices have difficulty delivering appropriate assistance in …

Robotic leg prostheses and exoskeletons have traditionally been designed using highly-
geared motor-transmission systems that minimally exploit the passive dynamics of human …

Tasks of daily living are often sporadic, highly variable, and asymmetric. Analyzing these
real-world non-cyclic activities is integral for expanding the applicability of exoskeletons …

Powered knee-ankle prostheses can offer benefits over conventional passive devices during
stair locomotion by providing biomimetic net-positive work and active control of joint angles …

The quadriceps are particularly susceptible to fatigue during repetitive lifting, lowering, and
carrying (LLC), affecting worker performance, posture, and ultimately lower-back injury risk …
