Abstract

Stroke is the leading course of adult disability due to the rapid population aging. Robots can be used in stroke rehabilitation to reduce the labor intensity as well as improve functional outcomes. However, the potential of robot-assisted rehabilitation has not been realized due to the limitation of the design, sensing and control of the robotic systems. The key limitations of current rehabilitation robots are in the areas of actuator design, system design with consideration of human biomechanics, and the sensing and control methodology to allow user initiated movement.

In this talk, Prof. Yu will introduce the design, sensing, and control for a novel robotic exoskeleton for sub-acute and chronic stroke patients and a robotic walker for stroke patients to conduct over-ground gait training. The exoskeleton robot consists of a knee joint and an ankle joint actuated by the same novel series elastic actuator (SEA) with Bowden cables. The robotic walker provides both bodyweight support, pelvic support and Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). These robots adopts machining learning algorithm based on wearable sensors for the robot to synchronize with the human movement and provide the assistance at the right gait phase.

Data from the preliminary clinical trials with stroke patients will also be presented to show that the systems can improve the gait patterns of the patients.
