Shared Control in Exoskeletons
Currently, lower-body exoskeletons for paraplegics are investigated as an alternative to wheelchairs and as an exercise method with medical benefits. Literature provides little examples for users to influence the length or frequency of steps taken by the exoskeleton, complicating stability and practical usability. This study proposes a novel control paradigm that allows users to influence step ...
متن کاملCompliant Actuation of Exoskeletons
This chapter discusses the advantages and feasibility of using compliant actuators in exoskeletons. We designed compliant actuation for use in a gait rehabilitation robot. In such a gait rehabilitation robot large forces are required to support the patient. In case of poststroke patients only the affected leg has to be supported while the movement of the unaffected leg should not be hindered. N...
متن کاملNeurogenomic Signatures of Successes and Failures in Life-History Transitions in a Key Insect Pollinator
Life-history transitions require major reprogramming at the behavioral and physiological level. Mating and reproductive maturation are known to trigger changes in gene transcription in reproductive tissues in a wide range of organisms, but we understand little about the molecular consequences of a failure to mate or become reproductively mature, and it is not clear to what extent these processe...
متن کاملRobotic metamorphosis by origami exoskeletons
Changing the inherent physical capabilities of robots by metamorphosis has been a long-standing goal of engineers. However, this task is challenging because of physical constraints in the robot body, each component of which has a defined functionality. Inspired by nature, roboticists have designed self-reconfiguring robots, which are cellular machines consisting of a set of identical unit-modul...
متن کاملWeight Optimum Design of Pressurized and Axially Loaded Stiffened Conical Shells to Prevent Stress and Buckling Failures
An optimal design of internal pressurized stiffened conical shell is investigated using the genetic algorithm (GA) to minimize the structural weight and to prevent various types of stress and buckling failures. Axial compressive load is applied to the shell. Five stress and buckling failures as constraints are taken into account. Using the discrete elements method as well as the energy method, ...
