To maximize performance and power efficiency, future multi-core architectures may be heterogeneous, incorporating some accelerator cores alongside the IA cores. Accelerator Exoskeletons provide a shared virtual memory heterogeneous multi-threaded programming paradigm for these accelerators using novel CPU instruction set extensions and software tool chains with an Intel Architecture (IA) look-n...

mercury levels in hepatopancreas, muscle and exoskeleton tissues of male and female green tiger prawn, p.semisulcatus, from the persian gulf were compared. significantly higher levels (p

Exoskeleton has been applied in the field of medical rehabilitation and assistance. However, there are still some problems interaction between human exoskeleton, such as time delay, existence certain constraints on body, movement is hard to follow. A motion pattern recognition model based long short-term memory (LSTM) proposed, which can recognise state body. Meanwhile, orthogonalisation method...

Many of the current implementations of exoskeletons for the lower extremities are conceived to either augment the user's load-carrying capabilities or reduce muscle activation during walking. Comparatively little research has been conducted on enabling an exoskeleton to increase the agility of lower-limb movements. One obstacle in this regard is the inertia of the exoskeleton's mechanism, which...

This article presents a wearable lower extremity exoskeleton (LEE) designed to augment the ability of a human to walk while carrying payloads. The ultimate goal of the current research is to design and control a wearable power-assisted system that integrates a human’s intellect as the control command. The system in this work consists of an inner exoskeleton and an outer exoskeleton. The inner s...

Many countries are now facing problems associate to an aging population. Therefore, using robotics technologies to support daily life of elderly people and patients is becoming an important research topic. In my talk, I will introduce our newly developed exoskeleton robot, and show that humanoid control methods can be used to control the exoskeleton robot for assisting human movements.

Assisting human locomotion with ankle exoskeletons is a complicated task, requiring consideration of both biological and device contributions to assisted joint mechanics. Assistance techniques have typically involved some combination of work input and torque support. The complex interaction that arises between the exoskeleton and human neuromuscular system, however, makes it difficult to unders...

We present experimental data for an ankle exoskeleton device that provides a metabolic benefit during running. Intuitively, there is an optimal level of power than any particular human can accept and use to benefit walking or running, which is a function of both the particular human and selected gait speed. In this paper, we will present theoretical modeling results to explain recent data for t...

ABSTRACT Exoskeletons are a new class of articulated mechanical systems whose performance is realized while in intimate contact with the human user. The overall performance depends on many factors including selection of architecture, device, parameters and the nature of the coupling to the human, offering numerous challenges to...

1696 M ost people are aware that insects are crunchy on the outside. What they don't always realize is that the external crunchy parts form the animal's skeleton, and that this body design makes the apparently simple process of growing extremely complex. In addition to providing a barrier against desiccation and protection from mechanical injury, an insect's external skeleton (exoskeleton) does...
