Coordinated human-exoskeleton locomotion emerges from regulating virtual energy. by Rezvan Nasiri, Hannah Dinovitzer, Nirosh Manohara, Arash Arami

“…Contribution: (1) In this paper, we experimented VER on a group of nine healthy individuals at different speeds (0.6m/s - 0.85m/s) to study the resultant gait coordination and naturalness on a large group of users. (2) The resultant assisted gait is compared to the natural and passive (zero-torque exoskeleton) walking conditions in terms of muscle activities, kinematic, spatiotemporal and kinetic measures, and questionnaires. (3) Moreover, we presented the VER's convergence proof considering the user contribution to the gait and introduced a metric to measure the user's contribution to gait. (4) We also compared VER performance with the phase-based path controller in terms of muscle effort reduction and joint kinematics using three able-bodied individuals. …”
