TL;DR: The design, control, and preliminary evaluation of a novel exoskeleton, MINDWALKER, which has a novel step-width adaptation algorithm to stabilize lateral balance and which tested on both healthy subjects and paraplegics showed that all users could successfully trigger steps by CoM displacement.

TL;DR: Overall, the results are consistent with a non-linear reorganization of the locomotor output when using the robotic stepping devices and may contribute to the understanding of human-machine interactions and adaptation of locomotor activity patterns.

TL;DR: A control method that provided gait assistance in both lateral and sagittal plane was proposed and it was proposed that an able-bodied subject could walk in the exoskeleton without any external balance aids.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented MindWalker, an EC funded research project coordinated by Space Applications Services aiming at the development of novel Brain Neural Computer Interfaces (BNCI) and robotics technologies, with the goal of obtaining a crutchless assistive lower limbs exoskeleton, with non-invasive brain control approach as main strategy.

TL;DR: Results show that the method is able to assist subjects to make steps with different step length and step duration without predefined joint trajectories and is fast enough for real-time implementation.
