PROTOTYPES


This video shows an amputee walking in an “out of lab” scenario wearing the CYBERLEGs APO; the person can freely move in an ecological environment. This video was recorded at FDG.



This video shows the control of the CYBERLEGs ATP controlled by means of the Intention Detection based on the CYBERLEGs Wearable Sensory Apparatus. Amputees worn the CYBERLEGs ATP and WSA and could perform several activities of daily living – ground-level walking, stair ascending and stand-to-sit/sit-to-stand maneuvers, being assisted by the active prosthesis. The scenes of this video were recorded during the validation period held in November 2014 at the premises of FDG.



This video shows the amputee walking on a treadmill wearing the CYBERLEGs Orthoprosthesis, namely CYBERLEGs APO and ATP coupled together in a single plug-and-play device. This video was recorded during the integration phase held in July 2014 at the premises of FDG.



This video shows an healthy person donning the CYBERLEGs alpha-APO prototype managing the slipping-like perturbation delivered by the SENLY platform. The Graphic User Interface provide a feedback – red LED on the screen - to the operator about the detected incipient fall thanks to the fall-detection algorithm developed in the framework of the CYBERLEGs project. This video was recorded during the integration phase held in July 2014 at the premises of FDG.



This video shows an amputee wearing the APO Module in a "out of the lab" environment. It was recorded during the 2nd Year review meeting of the Cyberlegs project, held on 8 April 2014.



This video shows an amputee donning the pelvis module of the CYBERLEGs ortho-prosthesis managed an incipient and unexpected slipping-like perturbation. The experiment was carried out while subjects were walking on the SENLY platform. Aim of experiment was to detect incipient falls using pelvis module’s joint angles as input to the adaptive oscillators fall detection algorithm. This video was recorded during the 2nd Year review meeting of the Cyberlegs project, held on 8 April 2014



Official video of first year project results



This first simulation of a healthy walking biped has been performed with the Robotran software, developed at UCL, and the Matlab/Simulink environment. The underlying dynamic model does not only include the multibody model (9 bodies and 11 joints) but also the muscle dynamics (14 muscles) as well as a reflex-based control layer. This walker actually mimicks the model from Hartmut Geyer and Hugh Herr (IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NEURAL SYSTEMS AND REHABILITATION ENGINEERING, VOL. 18, NO. 3, P. 263, 2010). In the near future, this model will be modified to simulate the effects of the pelvis and prosthesis devices. The orthosis model will considered in a second step.
