Villa-Parra,Ana Cecilia; Delisle-Rodriguez,Denis; Botelho,Thomaz; Mayor,John Jairo Villarejo; Delis,Alberto López; Carelli,Ricardo; Frizera Neto,AnselmoIntroduction: This work presents the development of a novel robotic knee exoskeleton controlled by motion intention based on sEMG, which uses admittance control to assist people with reduced mobility and improve their locomotion. Clinical research remark that these devices working in constant interaction with the neuromuscular and skeletal human system improves functional compensation and rehabilitation. Hence,...
