Kinematics and performance analysis of a serial hip assistive mechanism

A serial assistive mechanism was proposed for the hip adduction/abduction and flexion/extension motion assistance, which is kinematically compatible with human hip complex. As the mechanism is connected to the wearer, a 2-degree-of-freedom human–robot closed chain is formed. The closed-form position...
