Download or read book Human-Robot Interaction Strategies for Walker-Assisted Locomotion written by Carlos A. Cifuentes and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-04 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the development of a new multimodal human-robot interface for testing and validating control strategies applied to robotic walkers for assisting human mobility and gait rehabilitation. The aim is to achieve a closer interaction between the robotic device and the individual, empowering the rehabilitation potential of such devices in clinical applications. A new multimodal human-robot interface for testing and validating control strategies applied to robotic walkers for assisting human mobility and gait rehabilitation is presented. Trends and opportunities for future advances in the field of assistive locomotion via the development of hybrid solutions based on the combination of smart walkers and biomechatronic exoskeletons are also discussed.
