Design of a Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Elastic Neck Exoskeleton for Persons with Dropped Head Syndrome
Santiago Price Torrendell, Yang Chen, Hideki Kadone +2
Nonsurgical treatment of Dropped Head Syndrome (DHS) incurs the use of collar-type orthoses that immobilize the neck and cause discomfort and sores under the chin. Articulated orth…
Personal Mobility With Synchronous Trunk-Knee Passive Exoskeleton: Optimizing Human-Robot Energy Transfer
Diego Paez-Granados, Hideki Kadone, Modar Hassan +2
We present a personal mobility device for lower-body impaired users through a light-weighted exoskeleton on wheels. On its core, a novel passive exoskeleton provides postural trans…
Passive Flow Control for Series Inflatable Actuators: Application on a Wearable Soft-Robot for Posture Assistance
Diego Paez-Granados, Takehiro Yamamoto, Hideki Kadone +1
This paper presents a passive control method for multiple degrees of freedom in a soft pneumatic robot through the combination of flow resistor tubes with series inflatable actuato…
Control Interface for Hands-free Navigation of Standing Mobility Vehicles based on Upper-Body Natural Movements
Yang Chen, Diego Paez-Granados, Hideki Kadone +1
In this paper, we propose and evaluate a novel human-machine interface (HMI) for controlling a standing mobility vehicle or person carrier robot, aiming for a hands-free control th…
