A Foot Resistive Force Model for Legged Locomotion on Muddy Terrains
Xunjie Chen, Liuyin Wang, Xinyan Huang +3
Legged robots face significant challenges in moving and navigating on deformable and highly yielding terrain such as mud. We present a resistive force model for legged foot-mud int…
Bipedal-Walking-Dynamics Model on Granular Terrains
Xunjie Chen, Xinyan Huang, Peter Shan +2
Bipeds have demonstrated high agility and mobility in unstructured environments such as sand. The yielding of such granular media brings significant sinkage and slip of the bipedal…
Can Wearable Exoskeletons Reduce Gender and Disability Gaps in the Construction Industry?
Yana Rodgers, Xiangmin Liu, Jingang Yi +1
The share of construction trade jobs held by women and people with disabilities has remained stubbornly low in the face of chronic shortages of skilled labor. This study explores t…
Assistive Control of Knee Exoskeletons for Human Walking on Granular Terrains
Chunchu Zhu, Xunjie Chen, Jingang Yi
Human walkers traverse diverse environments and demonstrate different gait locomotion and energy cost on granular terrains compared to solid ground. We present a stiffness-based mo…
Exoskeleton-Assisted Balance and Task Evaluation During Quiet Stance and Kneeling in Construction
Gayatri Sreenivasan, Chunchu Zhu, Jingang Yi
Construction workers exert intense physical effort and experience serious safety and health risks in hazardous working environments. Quiet stance and kneeling are among the most co…
Biomechanical Comparison of Human Walking Locomotion on Solid Ground and Sand
Chunchu Zhu, Xunjie Chen, Jingang Yi
Current studies on human locomotion focus mainly on solid ground walking conditions. In this paper, we present a biomechanic comparison of human walking locomotion on solid ground…
