DOI: 10.1109/tmech.2018.2790358
Abstract: Most current hip exoskeletons emphasize assistance for walking rather than stability. The goal of this paper is to develop a novel, high-power, self-balancing, and passively and software-controlled actively compliant hip exoskeleton that can assist with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tnsre.2022.3201383
Abstract: To overcome the different requirements of torque-velocity characteristics for walking, running, stand-to-sit, sit-to-stand, and climbing stairs, we propose a novel concept for actuator design, namely, a series elastic actuator with two-motor variable speed transmission. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tro.2021.3122975
Abstract: For a lower limb exoskeleton, accurate and continuous estimation of the gait phase in real time is a fundamental requirement to provide a well-tailored assistive action at the proper time in the gait cycle (GC).… read more here.
