Proceedings ArticleDOI
Adaptation to knee flexion torque during gait
TL;DR: Results suggest that neuromuscular control of the knee joint during walking is not strongly modulated by feedforward mechanisms, and this could be valuable for designing assistive devices for stroke patients.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Motility Evaluation of a Novel Overground Functional Mobility Tool for Post Stroke Rehabilitation
James L. Patton,David Brown,E. Lewis,G. Crombie,J. Santos,A. Makhlin,J.E. Colgate,Michael A. Peshkin +7 more
TL;DR: The KineAssist is a robotic device that allows the therapist to safely interact with and challenge a patient as they train in whole body dynamic-balance tasks such as sit to stand or gait and an initial evaluation of the alpha-prototype's performance on healthy and stroke survivors is presented.

Julio J. Santos-Munne,Michael A. Peshkin,Eric L. Faulring,J.E. Colgate,Alexander Makhlin,Thomas Moyer,Traveler Hauptman,William Hoffmann +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an apparatus for breaking down an animal carcass including an arm, an end effector, and an input device for detecting input forces of a worker is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Power Efficiency of the Rotational-to-Linear Infinitely Variable Cobotic Transmission
TL;DR: In this article, the rotational-to-linear rolling contact transmissions utilized in the Cobotic Hand Controller are compared to the power efficiency of a conventional electro-mechanical actuationscheme.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Restoring physicality to touch interaction with programmable friction
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss new haptic effects that restore physicality to touch interaction by dynamically altering a touchscreen's frictional properties. But they do not discuss the effects of these effects on touch interfaces.
