Joint Inertial Sensor Orientation Drift Reduction for Highly Dynamic Movements

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel, Julien Chardonnens

Inertial sensor drift is usually corrected on a single-sensor unit level. When multiple sensor units are used, mutual information from different units can be exploited for drift correction. This study introduces a method for a drift-reduced estimation of t ...

Neural and muscular factors both contribute to plantar-flexor muscle weakness in older fallers

Jean-Baptiste Mignardot

Plantar-flexor muscles are key muscles in the control of postural sway. Older fallers present lower maximal plantar-flexor performance than older non-fallers; however, the mechanisms underlying this motor impairment remain to be elucidated. This study aime ...

A vibration control strategy using variable stiffness joints

Gennaro Senatore

Adaptive joints are structural joints made of materials with enhanced transduction properties that can vary their stiffness via solid-state actuation (e.g. thermal, mechanical). In this work, stiffness tuning is used to switch the joint between a ‘locked’ ...

An under-actuated origami gripper with adjustable stiffness joints for multiple grasp modes

Jamie Paik, Amir Firouzeh

Under-actuated robots offer multiple degrees of freedom without much added complexity to the actuation and control. Utilizing adjustable stiffness joints in these robots allows us to control their stable configurations and their mode of interaction with th ...

Improving anterior deltoid activity in a musculoskeletal shoulder model – an analysis of the torque-feasible space at the sternoclavicular joint

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, David Ingram, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt

Modelling the shoulder's musculature is challenging given its mechanical and geometric complexity. The use of the ideal fibre model to represent a muscle's line of action cannot always faithfully represent the mechanical effect of each muscle, leading to c ...

A Wearable System for Multi-Segment Foot Kinetics Measurement

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Xavier Crevoisier, Hossein Rouhani

This study aims to design a wearable system for kinetics measurement of multi-segment foot joints in long-distance walking and to investigate its suitability for clinical evaluations. The wearable system consisted of inertial sensors (3D gyroscopes and 3D ...
