A team of researchers has developed a motor-free quadruped robot that mimics a dog’s running motion ... varying across its workspace to enhance gait performance. The synergistic tendon routing ...

Wondering how they could put these sensors to practical use, they met with Raghavan, a stroke rehab physician, who inspired them to make gait assessment more accessible. Or, as Pimpalkar put it, "What ...

Shafiee and co-authors Guillaume Bellegarda and BioRobotics Lab head Auke Ijspeert were therefore interested in a new hypothesis for why gait transitions occur: viability, or fall avoidance.

The first was a complex data capture session at a gait lab using optical and EMG sensors, which recorded precise information about how she walked. About a year later, functional electrical ...
