  1. 21. Framework for Wireless Acquisition of Surface EMG and Real-Time Control

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Katrin Ammendrup; [2018]
    Keywords : EMG; Wireless Acquisition; Signal Processing; Real-Time Control;

    Abstract : Muscle driven devices are controlled or powered with muscle activation. These devices open up the possibility of offering patients with limited muscle function to automatically control assistive devices - for instance exoskeletons - with input from their own muscles. READ MORE

  3. 22. Lower Limb Muscle Synergy During Daily Life Activities : A Way to Convey Intended Motions To a Robotic Assistive Device.

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Teresa Colangelo; [2018]
    Keywords : muscle synergy; lower limb; knee; exoskeleton; EMG;

    Abstract : Powered exoskeletons can assist patients suffering from motor dysfunctions. Recent researches are focused on how to improve the communication system between patient and device. Further research is needed in order to design an EMG based robotic assistive device able to convey intended motions to the patient. READ MORE

  4. 23. Development and Evaluation of Textile Actuators

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Biosensorer och bioelektronik

    Author : Fredrik Ekman; [2016]
    Keywords : Conducting Polymer; Textile; Actuator; Soft Robotics;

    Abstract : Existing actuators in robotics are noisy, rigid and not very lifelike in their movements. There is a need for actuators in especially limb prosthetics and exoskeletons that are silent, softly moving and preferably operating on low currents. One such solution is the conducting polymers.
