Review of control strategies for lower-limb exoskeletons to assist gait

Auke Ijspeert, Mohamed Bouri, Romain Pierre François Baud, Ali Reza Manzoori

Background Many lower-limb exoskeletons have been developed to assist gait, exhibiting a large range of control methods. The goal of this paper is to review and classify these control strategies, that determine how these devices interact with the user. Met ...

Eye-tracking perspectives of students’ learning trough MOOCs

Pierre Dillenbourg, Patrick Jermann, Kshitij Sharma, Himanshu Verma

Activating student knowledge (ASK) before receiving learning materials improves their learning outcome (Tormey and LeDuc (2014)). We implement ASK through priming by using two versions of the same pretest in a dual eye-tracking study in a MOOC context. We ...
