Puppeteer and Marionette: Learning Anticipatory Quadrupedal Locomotion Based on Interactions of a Central Pattern Generator and Supraspinal Drive

Auke Ijspeert, Guillaume Denis Antoine Bellegarda, Milad Shafiee Ashtiani

Quadruped animal locomotion emerges from the interactions between the spinal central pattern generator (CPG), sensory feedback, and supraspinal drive signals from the brain. Computational models of CPGs have been widely used for investigating the spinal co ...

Gait-dependent Traversability Estimation on the k-rock2 Robot

Auke Ijspeert, Matthew Alfonso Estrada

Assessing the traversability of rugged terrain is a difficult challenge for legged robots, especially when they implement multiple, distinct gaits. We tackle this problem on the k-rock2 amphibious, sprawling gait robot by training a gait-dependent traversa ...

Comparison of Laboratory and Daily-Life Gait Speed Assessment during ON and OFF States in Parkinson’s Disease

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Atrsaei

Accurate assessment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) ON and OFF states in the usual environment is essential for tailoring optimal treatments. Wearables facilitate measurements of gait in novel and unsupervised environments; however, differences between unsuper ...

Toward a remote assessment of walking bout and speed: application in patients with multiple sclerosis

Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Benoît Mariani, Arash Atrsaei

Gait speed as a powerful biomarker of mobility is mostly assessed in controlled environments, e.g. in the clinic. With wearable inertial sensors, gait speed can be estimated in an objective manner. However, most of the previous works have validated the gai ...

Sprawling Quadruped Robot Driven by Decentralized Control With Cross-Coupled Sensory Feedback Between Legs and Trunk

Auke Ijspeert

Quadruped animals achieve agile and highly adaptive locomotion owing to the coordination between their legs and other body parts, such as the trunk, head, and tail, that is, body-limb coordination. This study aims to understand the sensorimotor control und ...

Sensory modulation of gait characteristics in human locomotion: A neuromusculoskeletal modeling study

Auke Ijspeert, Andrea Di Russo, Dimitar Yuriev Stanev

The central nervous system of humans and other animals modulates spinal cord activity to achieve several locomotion behaviors. Previous neuromechanical models investigated the modulation of human gait changing selected parameters belonging to CPGs (Central ...

Wearable Sensor-Based Real-Time Gait Detection: A Systematic Review

Auke Ijspeert, Grégoire Courtine, Joachim von Zitzewitz, Miroslav Caban

Gait analysis has traditionally been carried out in a laboratory environment using expensive equipment, but, recently, reliable, affordable, and wearable sensors have enabled integration into clinical applications as well as use during activities of daily ...

Gait in real world: validated algorithms for gait periods and speed estimation using a single wearable sensor

Abolfazl Soltani

Mobility concerns most daily tasks (e.g., householding, shopping), affecting life quality. Gait speed, recognized as the sixth vital sign, is a key to characterize mobility. It is also a primary outcome of many clinical interventions. Monitoring gait in un ...

Simulation of human gait with body weight support: benchmarking models and unloading strategies

Salil Apte

Background Gait training with partial body weight support (BWS) has become an established rehabilitation technique. Besides passive unloading mechanisms such as springs or counterweights, also active systems that allow rendering constant or modulated verti ...

The association of basic and challenging motor capacity with mobility performance and falls in young seniors

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu

Background: Understanding the association between motor capacity (MC) (what people can do in a standardized environment), mobility performance (MP) (what people actually do in real-life) and falls is important for early detection of and counteracting on fu ...

Control Strategies for Lower-limb Exoskeletons: from Full Mobilization to Assistance of Balance

Romain Pierre François Baud

Bipedal locomotion is a remarkable feature of humans. This skill is necessary for the activities of daily living. Unfortunately, many people only partially benefit from it or miss it entirely because of a disability. This may result in a slower gait, less ...

From standing balance to walking: A single control structure for a continuum of gaits

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji, Seyed Hamed Razavi

This article presents a control algorithm framework with which a bipedal robot can perform a variety of gaits by only modifying a small set of control parameters. The controller drives a number of variables, called non-emergent variables, to their desired ...

Gait events during turning can be detected using kinematic features originally proposed for the analysis of straight-line walking

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

There is a growing interest for turning biomechanics notably because it is a more challenging task than straight-line walking during which some gait impairments are increased. Detecting heel-strike (HS) and toe-off (TO) events using the trajectory of marke ...
