Upper-body Enhancive Robotic Exoskeleton for Load Handling.
In this thesis, the analysis, simulation, and control of joints which relate to the hu-. man lower limbs via CPGs and feedback control techniques with an aim of practically. implementing the control strategies using a lower limb exoskeleton is presented.

The aim of this work is to develop and evaluate a wearable robotic system fusing the concepts of assistance and therapy in the design of RELab tenoexo, a fully wearable actuated hand exoskeleton for assistance in daily life and with the potential for wearable all-day rehabilitation in the clinic or at home for subjects with neuromotor hand impairments.

Wearable robots, such as exoskeletons, interact closely with the wearer. To this end, mechanical features are combined with control techniques to transparently follow human movements. Such expected behaviour depends on special project requirements, safety being the most critical one.
This doctoral thesis presents technical strategies for the rational maintenance of the building heritage directed at the integrated retrofit of social housing stocks. The study comprised the analysis of recovered residential buildings in order to develop new sceneries to adopt in critical situations, leading to the definition of a new experimental practice called “adaptive exoskeleton”.
Exoskeletons are wearable orthotic devices, almost always instrumented and rigidly interfaced with the wearer.Powered exoskeletons are motorized with the objective to assist walking or mobilize the legs to walk.No treadmill and no body weight support are required. A closed-loop-controlled movement or torques are transmitted to the limbs.

This thesis contributes multiple algorithms that develop motion control policies for mobile robot behaviors, and incorporate feedback in various ways. Our algorithms use feedback to re ne demon-strated policies, as well as to build new policies through the sca olding of simple motion behaviors learned from demonstration.
