Design and Operation of Human Locomotion Systems

Design and Operation of Locomotion Systems examines recent advances in locomotion systems with multidisciplinary viewpoints, including mechanical design, biomechanics, control, computer science. In particular, the book addresses specifications and requirements to achieve proper design of locomotion systems. This book provides insight on the gait analysis of humans by considering image capture systems. It also studies also human locomotion from a rehabilitation viewpoint. This book outlines the design and operation of exoskeletons both for rehabilitation and human performance enhancement tasks. Additionally, the book content ranges from fundamental theory and mathematical formulations up to practical implementations and experimental testing procedures. Written and contributed by leading experts in robotics and locomotion systems Addresses humanoid locomotion from both design and control viewpoints Discusses design and control of multi-legged locomotion systems INDICE: 1. Mechanism Design for Locomotion Systems 2. Kinematics formulations for locomotion systems 3. Dynamic modelling and balancing 4. Human lower limb operation tracking via motion capture systems 5. Motion ranges of Human upper limbs for rehabilitation purposes 6. Design and control of exoskeletons for limb replacement or performance enhancement 7. Design of a human like locomotion for Humanoid Robots 8. Wearable sensors for locomotion
