  1. 6. A study on selfbalancing for a quadruped robot

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Joachim Knälmann; Marcus Saläng; [2023]
    Keywords : Mechatronics; Quadruped robot; Inverse Kinematics; PID controller; Quadruped gait.; Mekatronik; Fyrbent robot; Inverterad kinematik; PID regulator; Fyrbent robot gång.;

    Abstract : This report will cover the work involved in building a quadruped robot which should to a certain extent resemeble a four-legged mammal. The introduction will present information related to what has inspired the project, purpose/aim, specifications, limitations and research questions. READ MORE

  3. 7. Real-time adaptation of robotic knees using reinforcement control

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Leifur Daníel Sigurðarson; [2023]
    Keywords : Machine learning; deep reinforcement learning; transfer learning; medical device; prosthetic; prosthesis; controls; human-in-the-loop; Maskininlärning; djup förstärkningsinlärning; överföringsinlärning; medicinsk utrustning; protes; kontroller; människa-i-loopen;

    Abstract : Microprocessor-controlled knees (MPK’s) allow amputees to walk with increasing ease and safety as technology progresses. As an amputee is fitted with a new MPK, the knee’s internal parameters are tuned to the user’s preferred settings in a controlled environment. READ MORE

  4. 8. Gaze Pattern and Motion Control During Walking While Multitasking

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Filip Karlsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Gaze behaviour; Gait; Multitasking; Eye tracker; Motion capture system;

    Abstract : In Sweden almost three persons over the age of 65 years dies every daybecause of fall injuries. The overall societal costs of elderly fall accidentswere estimated to to be 14 billion SEK, and if no action is taken this cost isestimated to increase to 22 billion SEK until 2050. READ MORE

  5. 9. Biomechanical investigation of the efficacy and perceived performance of a knee brace

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Alice Garnheim; Alvina Vernersson; [2023]
    Keywords : Biomechanical investigation; knee brace; osteoarthritis; design; OA; healthy subjects; gait analysis; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The most prevalent joint disease in adults is osteoarthritis. The knee joint is the joint which is the most affected by osteoarthritis, with mechanical overloading being one of the causes. While no cure exists for osteoarthritis, many different treatment options are available. One alternative is to wear a knee brace on the affected leg. READ MORE

  6. 10. The evidence base of elevated vacuum and pin-lock suspension system in transtibial prosthetic users: A literature review with a systematic approach

    University essay from Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Author : Louise Dömstedt; Malin Stafås; [2022]
    Keywords : transtibial prosthetics; transtibial suspension method; elevated vacuum; active vacuum; pin-lock;

    Abstract : Aim: This review aims to describe the existing evidence base for using elevated vacuum suspension and pin-lock suspension systems in regards to fluctuations of limb volume, balance, effect on gait (spatial and temporal, kinematic, and kinetic data), and in-socket movement (pistoning and transverse forces). Background: There is a growing population with a TT amputation thus there is an increased demand for TT prosthetic solutions. READ MORE
