IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING, 71(1), 334–342.

By: A. Alili n, A. Fleming n, V. Nalam n, M. Liu n, J. Dean* & H. Huang n

author keywords: Hip; Exoskeletons; Legged locomotion; Behavioral sciences; Torque; Foot; Admittance control; Robotic hip exoskeleton; human-exoskeleton interaction; mediolateral balance assistance; gait stability
TL;DR: Tuning of stiffness in admittance control of a hip exoskeleton, acting in mediolateral direction, can be a viable way for controlling step width in normal walking and pave a new way for future design and control of wearable robotics in enhancing mediolateral walking balance for various rehabilitation applications.

A Wearable Robotic Rehabilitation System for Neuro-rehabilitation Aimed at Enhancing Mediolateral Balance

2023 IEEE/RSJ INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INTELLIGENT ROBOTS AND SYSTEMS, IROS, pp. 155–160.

By: Z. Yu n, V. Nalam n, A. Alili n & H. Huang n

TL;DR: A neurorehabilitation platform by integrating a wearable robotic hip abduction-adduction exoskeleton with a visual interface expected to influence and rehabilitate the underlying visuomotor mechanisms in individuals by having users perform motion tasks based on visual feedback while the robot applies various controlled resistances governed by the admittance controller implemented in the robot.
