This research introduces a low-power, light-weight wearable powered waist exoskeleton with mechanical clutch. By processing the signals from multiple sensors, the human movement intention can be precisely identified and estimated. The exoskeleton can help reduce the work done by human muscle and has a loading capacity up to 20kg. Through the mechanical clutches applied, the exoskeleton can lock the...
In this paper, we have developed an asynchronous brain-computer interface (BCI)-based lower limb exoskeleton control system based on motor imagery (MI). By decoding electroencephalography (EEG) signals in real-time, users were able to walk forward, sit down, and stand up while wearing the exoskeleton. EEG feature vectors associated with the motor imagery were extracted from the filtered EEG signals...
In this paper, we design a novel knee exoskeleton. The designed exoskeleton has a 1 DOF with knee joint actuated in the sagittal plane. The exoskeleton is actuated base on Series Elastic Actuator (SEA) instead of traditonal stiff actuator. SEA is a compliant actuator, having the advantages of low output impedance, low friction, high quality force control and backdrivability. Thanks to these nice characteristics,...
Lower-limb exoskeleton is widely used for assisting walk in rehabilitation field. One key problem for exoskeleton control is to model and predict the suitable gait trajectories of wearer. In this paper, we propose a Deep Rehabilitation Gait Learning (DRGL) for modeling the knee joints of lower-limb exoskeleton, which firstly leverage Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) to learn the inherent spatial-temporal...
Robust gait phase prediction is crucial to exoskeleton robots, as it detects the intention of users and improves the lag of motion signals. Therefore, this paper predicts gait phases from two perspectives, including one perspective of spatial features and the other of spatio-temporal features. We employ two machine learning models from the two perspectives to predict. One is support vector machine...
In this paper, we present a control method that combines Brain-computer interface based on Steady-State Visual Evoked Potentials and traditional force/angle sensors to control a lower-limb rehabilitation exoskeleton. Through visual stimulation experiments, the subjects will produce raw electroencephalogram signals including commands information. After acquiring such information, the control system...
In order to help spinal cord injury (SCI) patients to walk again, a medical robot exoskeleton have been developed to assist these patients to walk independently in SIAT, Shenzhen. The research of this article is exoskeleton robot single joint load adaptive servo control. Considering the volunteers, wearing an exoskeleton robot, joints have significant changes in load torque and the moment of inertia,...
In order to help spinal cord injury (SCI) patients to walk again, a medical robot exoskeleton have been developed to assist these patients to walk independently in SIAT, Shenzhen. The robot has an under-drive control structure. The wearer can maintain balance and shift his (her) body weight with the aid of a pair of crutches. On this robot we have implemented a four-legged gait planning method. Through...
This paper presents a novel device that can be attached to a lower-limb exoskeleton to assist lower extremity hemiplegic patients during sitting down and standing up. Such device serves as a self-adaptive exoskeleton chair. The mechanical design has simple structure, great applicability, reliability and high driving efficiency. This paper first models and analysis the muscle forces during standing...
This paper introduces a novel approach to predict human motion for the Non-binding Lower Extremity Exoskeleton (NBLEX). Most of the exoskeletons must be attached to the pilot, which exists potential security problems. In order to solve these problems, the NBLEX is studied and designed to free pilots from the exoskeletons. Rather than applying Electromyography (EMG) and Ground Reaction Force (GFR)...
Wearable exoskeleton robot is a kind of humanoid service robot to help the elderly and the patients with walking dysfunction, it is also an effective medical rehabilitation method to help patients who have walking disorders due to central neural system damage. This paper focuses on the flexible mechanism design of wearable lower limb exoskeleton robot. A wearable exoskeleton robot prototype was developed...
