چکیده
We present an overview of the work devoted to exoskeletons which has been performed for the last seven years at TU Berlin. Three different types of exoskeleton devices have been developed: hand and finger exoskeletons for rehabilitation, a leg exoskeleton for motion support, and an arm exoskeleton for multimodal human-computer interaction. The research has been focused on different types of control strategies and algorithms as well as on the implementation of applications. The main part of this work is devoted to using electrical muscle signals for the control systems. We present the concepts for design and application, review the main algorithms and show experimental results and first experience with applications.

Planning for Future Urban Services in the Smart City Era: Integrating E-services in Urban Planning Process
Information and communication technology (ICT) has transformed how we live our lives and the way we interact in different contexts. Benefits of ICT and its upcoming efficiencies (i.e. energy efficiency) are becoming the heart of many public services’ reforms which have influenced the time, distance and space concepts. At present, not only there is a lack of clarity about what high-quality ICTba...

Urban areas are the main consumers of energy resources with a considerable amount of waste in building and transport sectors. This comes about due to inefficient development patterns as well as consumption habits. Towards steering an energy efficiency transformation in cities, it is thus crucial to develop policies, strategies and measures to improve efficiency in these sectors. Hence, not only...
