Conference Proceeding
Ruiz Garate, V., Parri, A., Yan, T., Munih, M., Lova, R. M., Vitiello, N., & Ronsse, R. (2016). Motor primitive-based control for lower-limb exoskeletons. In 2016 6th IEEE International Conference on Biomedical Robotics and Biomechatronics (BioRob). , (655-661). https://doi.org/10.1109/biorob.2016.7523700

Assistive technology forecasts better autonomy for people with lifelong disabilities and for the elderly facing motor decline. As the population of developed countries is becoming greyer, there is thus a high probability of observing a significant in...

An oscillator-based smooth real-time estimate of gait phase for wearable robotics (2016)
Journal Article
Yan, T., Parri, A., Ruiz Garate, V., Cempini, M., Ronsse, R., & Vitiello, N. (2017). An oscillator-based smooth real-time estimate of gait phase for wearable robotics. Autonomous Robots, 41(3), 759-774. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10514-016-9566-0

This paper presents a novel methodology for estimating the gait phase of human walking through a simple sensory apparatus. Three subsystems are combined: a primary phase estimator based on adaptive oscillators, a desired gait event detector and a pha...
