Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – New study results on robotics have bee n published. According to news reporting out of Madrid, Spain, by NewsRx editors , research stated, “Relearning to walk requires progressive training in real sce narios-overground-along with assistance in basic tasks, such as balancing.”Our news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from University Rey J uan Carlos: “In addition, user ability must be maximized through compliant robot ic assistance as needed. Despite decades of research, gait rehabilitation roboti c devices yield controversial results. This article presents the conceptual desi gn of a novel walking assistance and rehabilitation robot, the NIMBLE robot, aim ed at providing ambulatory, bodyweight-supported gait training, assisting the us er’s center of mass trajectory to aid weight transfer and dynamic balance during walking. NIMBLE consists of a robotic mobile frame, a partial bodyweight suppor t (PBWS) system, an ambulatory lower-limb exoskeleton (Exo-H3) and a cable-drive n pelvis-assisting robot. Designed as a modular structure, it differentiates hie rarchical communication levels through a Robot Operating System (ROS) 2 network. We present the mechatronic design and experimental results assessing the impact of the mechatronic coupling between the robotic modules on the walking kinemati cs and the frame movement control performance.”
