This article has been accepted for inclusion in a future issue of this journal. content is final as presented, with the exception of pagination. 2 • ieee robotics & automation magazine 1070-9932/14©2014ieee...this research question, we conducted an experiment with eight subjects, which involved the completion of slow elbow flexion movements at two target speed levels and under five resistive torque fields implemented via an elbow exoskeleton....
A low-voltage rotary actuator fabricated using a five-level polysilicon surface micromachining technology... A low-friction hub was developed to minimize frictional loads due to rubbing surfaces, producing an estimated resistive torque of about 6 pN-m....
Simulating reactive/passive postures by means of a human active torque hybrid minimization... The proposed approach is hybrid in the sense that it combines the local knowledge of the external torque induced by external forces such as gravity and exerted force, and the full knowledge of the passive-resistive torque characteristics due to ligaments and connective tissues....
An integrated computer-based system to study neuromuscular disorders of the upper limbA multi-channel computer-based clinical instrument was developed to simultaneously acquire, process, display, quantify and correlate electromyographic (EMG) activity, resistive torque, range of motion (ROM), and pain levels in the upper limbs of humans....
