... his pioneering efforts. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The interviewee is Dr Homayoon Kazerooni, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of California (UC) Berkeley, pioneer and leading entrepreneur of robotic exoskeletons. He is a foremost expert...

... mode. Design/methodology/approach This paper mainly builds a steady-state visual stimulation interface, an electroencephalography (EEG) signal processing platform and an exoskeleton robot verification platform. The target flashing stimulation blocks provide visual stimulation at the specified...

...Fuhai Zhang; Legeng Lin; Lei Yang; Yili Fu Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a variable impedance control method of finger exoskeleton for hand rehabilitation using the contact forces between the finger and the exoskeleton, making the output trajectory of finger exoskeleton comply...

...Qiming Chen; Hong Cheng; Rui Huang; Jing Qiu; Xinhua Chen Purpose Lower-limb exoskeleton systems enable people with spinal cord injury to regain some degree of locomotion ability, as the expected motion curve needs to adapt with changing scenarios, i.e. stair heights, distance to the stairs...

... to provide real-time magnetic resonance imaging images for brain surgery. After a tragic accident confined him to a wheelchair, Goffer created ReWalk, a robotic exoskeleton that enables people with lower limb disabilities to stand, walk, ascend/descend stairs and more. He recently founded his latest company...

... exoskeletons will soon be available as affordable products for the elderly. When the ISO secretariat receives letters about issues, they are responded to. For example, when one letter is received, the issue is noted; if two letters on an issue are received, it clearly is more important and is normally worthy...

...Iman Kardan; Alireza Akbarzadeh Purpose This paper aims to overcome some of the practical difficulties in assistive control of exoskeletons by developing a new assistive algorithm, called output feedback assistive control (OFAC) method. This method does not require feedbacks from force...

... and the Red Dragon, for minimally invasive surgical skill evaluation; RAVEN, a surgical robotic system for telesurgery; and several generations of upper and lower limb exoskeletons including the Exo-UL7 – a dual arm wearable robotic system. He is a co-author of 100 manuscripts in the field of medical robotics...

... actuator, this actuator with Adjustable Rigidity and Embedded Sensor (ARES) is intended to be implemented in the knee of the ATLAS exoskeleton for children to allow the exploitation of the intrinsic dynamic during the locomotion cycle. Design/methodology/approach – A set of simulations were performed...

... State University, San Luis Obispo. He is a California-registered Professional Mechanical Engineer and has two granted patents and another seven pending. Findings – In 2004, two weeks after Mr Angold was hired by a former colleague to work on exoskeletons (Exos) at the University of California...
