Background Many lower-limb exoskeletons have been developed to assist gait, exhibiting a
large range of control methods. The goal of this paper is to review and classify these control …

Benchmarks have long been used to verify and compare the readiness level of different
technologies in many application domains. In the field of wearable robots, the lack of a …

Walking and running have fundamentally different biomechanics, which makes develo**
devices that assist both gaits challenging. We show that a portable exosuit that assists hip …

Exoskeleton technology has made significant advances during the last decade, resulting in
a considerable variety of solutions for gait assistance and rehabilitation. The mechanical …

In this paper, we first discuss the challenges related to habitat monitoring and review
possible robotic solutions. Then, we propose a framework to perform terrestrial habitat …

Wearable robots (WRs) are increasingly moving out of the labs towards real-world
applications. In order for WRs to be effectively and widely adopted by end-users, a common …

This review paper provides a synthetic yet critical overview of the key biomechanical
principles of human bipedal walking and their current implementation in robotic platforms …

Legged robotic technologies have moved out of the lab to operate in real environments,
characterized by a wide variety of unpredictable irregularities and disturbances, all this in …

Lower-limb robotic exoskeletons have become powerful tools to assist or rehabilitate the gait
of subjects with impaired walking, even when they are designed to act only partially over the …

The science and technology of wearable robots are steadily advancing, and the use of such
robots in our everyday life appears to be within reach. Nevertheless, widespread adoption of …
