Energym: A Building Model Library for Controller Benchmarking

Paul Scharnhorst, Yves Stauffer, Tomasz Tadeusz Gorecki, Baptiste Schubnel

We introduce the Python-based open-source library Energym, a building model library to test and benchmark building controllers. The incorporated building models are presented with a brief explanation of their function, location and technical equipment. Fur ...

Control strategies for a verticalized rehabilitation robot

Yves Stauffer

Caring and rehabilitation of spinal cord injuries have greatly evolved during the twentieth century. Unfortunately standard training still heavily relies on manual mobilization of the patient. Which not only results in short training periods, but also prev ...

The WalkTrainer, a New Generation of Walking Reeducation Device Combining Orthoses and Muscle Stimulation

Reymond Clavel, Mohamed Bouri, Jacques Fournier, Yves Stauffer, Patrick Métrailler, Yves Allemand

This paper presents a novel reeducation device for paraplegics that combines hybrid orthoses and closed-loop electrical muscle stimulation. Based on the so called Cyberthosis concept, the WalkTrainer enables an active muscular participation of the subject ...

Clinical Trials with the WalkTrainer: Preliminary Results

Reymond Clavel, Mohamed Bouri, Jacques Fournier, Yves Stauffer, Patrick Métrailler, Yves Allemand

Robotic devices are well suited for providing motion to the patient and information (positions, forces, etc.) to the therapist. The FSC and LSRO are combining their effort in the development of robotic re-education devices, focusing on active rehabilitatio ...

Pelvic motion measurement during over ground walking, analysis and implementation on the WalkTrainer reeducation device

Reymond Clavel, Mohamed Bouri, Jacques Fournier, Yves Stauffer, Patrick Métrailler, Yves Allemand

Pelvic motions are of great importance while walking, and have thus to be taken into account when developing and controlling rehabilitation devices. This paper will first introduce a new reeducation devices for paraplegic people: the WalkTrainer. This devi ...

Pelvic Motion Implementation on the WalkTrainer

Reymond Clavel, Mohamed Bouri, Jacques Fournier, Yves Stauffer, Patrick Métrailler, Yves Allemand

Pelvic motion is of great importance when walking, and have thus to be taken into account while developing rehabilitation robotics. This paper describes the implementation of a pelvic motion amplitude prediction model on a pelvic orthosis and tests on vali ...

The WalkTrainer: A Robotic System for Walking Rehabilitation

Reymond Clavel, Mohamed Bouri, Jacques Fournier, Yves Stauffer, Patrick Métrailler, Yves Allemand

Standard reeducation methods for paraplegic people rely on manual or robotic mobilization on a treadmill. However in both cases the motion is generated by an exterior force, the training is thus called passive. In this context the Swiss Fondation for Cyber ...

Cyberthèse. Mise en oeuvre d'un nouveau concept de rééducation pour paraplégiques

Reymond Clavel, Mohamed Bouri, Jacques Fournier, Yves Stauffer, Patrick Métrailler, Carl Schmitt, Yves Allemand

Robots are excellent tools for providing motion. Their motion is precise, stiff and as repeatable as needed. This led the Swiss Foundation for Cyberthosis (SFC) to exploit robotics jointly with the muscle electrostimulation as intelligent rehabilitation de ...

The WalkTrainer™: A Robotic System for Walking Rehabilitation*

Reymond Clavel, Mohamed Bouri, Yves Stauffer, Patrick Métrailler, Carl Schmitt, Yves Allemand

Robots are excellent tools for providing motion. Their motion is precise, stiff and as repeatable as we need. This led the Swiss Foundation for Cyberthosis (SFC) to exploit robotics jointly with the muscle electrostimulation as intelligent rehabilitation d ...
