To enable the control system to provide minimal assistance and apply different rehabilitation stages according to the subject's performance, this paper proposes a motion-trend-based assistance control strategy. The preliminary experimental results demonstrate that the proposed control strategy works well to quickly adjust the assistance to the subject's motor performance and quickly reduce the assistance when the subject tends to actively participate in the exercise.

In order to lessen the impact on the team of rehabilitation practitioners and provide patients with a higher-quality rehabilitation process, an ankle rehabilitation robot based on a parallel mechanism is proposed. The feasibility of the ankle rehabilitation robot proposed in this paper is proven by analysis, which lays a foundation for future human–machine experiments. It can act as a reference for future research of the ankle rehabilitation mechanism.

The proposed VTD-SLAM algorithm has the following advantages. (1) A multiclass feature enhancement and multiclass feature guidance semantic segmentation network (MSNET) is proposed to improve the semantic segmentation ability of dynamic objects. (2) Optimal neighbor pixel matching is used to complete the image of the deleted region. Our method can effectively solve the influence of dynamic objects, so that the SLAM system can operate effectively.

The development of bionic skin has always been a challenging scientific research problem. A novel experimental method is proposed for investigating fingertip friction perception characteristics. The results show that the tactile perception accuracy can be improved by changing the surface texture and lubrication conditions. The method can provide peer experience for revealing tactile perception mechanisms and can also provide theoretical guidance for the research of bionic skin.

Traditional path-planning algorithms for bending robots are often a sequence of multiple line segments and an unsmoothed curve, which causes a discontinuous robot motion. A smooth path can ensure continuous motion. We propose an improved artificial potential field-based path-planning method based on the idea of a rapidly exploring random tree (RRT) algorithm, reducing the length of and smoothing the path, thus solving the path-planning problem of a multi-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) bending robot.

Robot-assisted rehabilitation has proven to be effective for improving the motor performance of patients with neuromuscular injuries. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to present a new patient-cooperative control framework for an end-effector upper-limb rehabilitation robot that provides robot-assisted training for individuals with neuromuscular disorders. The feasibility of the proposed control scheme is validated via training experiments using five healthy subjects.

We introduce different test scenarios and set-ups for a force control assessment. The force control of Universal Robots (UR10e) and FerRobotics (ACF-K 109/04) are evaluated. A force/torque sensor, mounted below a work piece, measures the applied force by the UR or by the ACF. Results for both UR and ACF force control are presented for varying desired contact velocities and forces. These results show the advantage of the ACF-K 109/04 over the UR10e force control for highly dynamic scenarios.

This study is focused on analyzing signal changes according to internal flow and temperature change by generating micro-leakage, unlike previous studies that experimented with no flow inside a chamber. In addition, a new application method utilizing a phase shift by post-processing the ultrasonic reception signal was proposed. By using the ultrasonic sensor, a different method was proposed for the measurement of micro-leakage of gaseous fuel that relied on the existing pressure sensor.

Compared to the traditional pHRI measurement approaches, the proposed method arranged the sensors in the mechanical joint instead of the connection cuff. This kind of architecture has compact architecture and improves the wearing comfort, which can adapt to various operators and is convenient to be applied in the wearable exoskeleton. The performance of the DEM will be studied in the following work and human-exoskeleton coordination control strategies will be investigated in future work.

The importance of the gear loss factor in the power loss predictions was put in evidence comparing the predictions with experimental results.
It was concluded that the gear loss factor is a decisive factor to accurately predict the power loss.
Different formulations proposed in the literature were compared and it was shown that only few were able to yield satisfactory correlations with experimental results.

Short summary
In this paper, a gait analysis algorithm for a lower limb rehabilitation robot is proposed. The algorithm realizes the division of gait temporal information and the design of a gait spatiotemporal parameter algorithm based on lidar. A spatial parameter-splicing algorithm based on a time series is proposed, which effectively reduces the influence of errors on gait parameters. Based on the gait algorithm, aiming at real-time algorithm performance, a dynamic window method is proposed.
