Design of a Robotic Rollator for Sit-To-Stand and Walking Assistance of Older Individuals with Mobility Disorders
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-22)Many elderly people suffer from a loss of mobility due to musculoskeletal disorders, neurological conditions, diabetes, frailty, or other impairments, and thus require assistance during walking and Sit-to-Stand (STS) ... -
Human Detection And Tracking For Human-Robot Interaction On The REEM-C Humanoid Robot
(University of Waterloo, 2023-08-28)The interactions between humanoid robots and humans is a growing area of research, as frameworks and models are being continuously developed to improving the ways in which humanoids may integrate into society. These humanoids ... -
Humanoid Robotic Manipulation Benchmarking and Bimanual Manipulation Workspace Analysis
(University of Waterloo, 2022-09-07)The growing adoption of robots for new applications has led to the use of robots in human environments for human-like tasks, applications well-suited to humanoid robots as they are designed to move like a human and operate ... -
Implementation of a Stair Walking Algorithm on the REEM-C Humanoid Robot
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-20)The recent increased usage of robots in society brings about unique challenges, such as endowing these robots with the ability to operate in a manner similar to humans. These challenges are well structured for humanoid ... -
Modeling and Optimal Control of Human Walking for Motion Understanding and Usage in Lower-Limb Exoskeletons
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-24)Wearable robotics, also known as exoskeletons, are devices typically worn over the human limbs to provide support and help with movement. Either by assisting the user to increase their capabilities, to help them regain ... -
The Physical Exoskeleton-User Interface: Investigating Modelling and Design of Coupling Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2023-07-27)The goal of Lower Limb Rehabilitation Exoskeletons is to provide active and passive support to the user for rehabilitation goals focused on the restoration of function and independence to the user. In circumstances where ... -
Towards geriatric use of exoskeletons: Improving human-device interaction with a tutorial and optimal control
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-05)With the global geriatric population expected to reach 1.5 billion by 2050, there has been growing interest to tackle age-associated movement impairments by developing assistive technologies. Rehabilitative lower-limb ... -
Understanding Feedforward – Feedback Controller Components In Human Movement Through Optimization-Based Approaches
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-10)Despite many studies in human motion analysis using optimal control theory to understand how movement is generated, less attention is focused on the structure of the optimal controller. The majority of existing studies ...
