    Abstract: A method of performing a fit test on an actuator unit coupled to a user. The method includes actuating the actuator unit; determining a first configuration of the actuator unit generated during the actuating the actuator unit; determining a second configuration of the actuator unit generated during the actuating the actuator unit; determining a change in configuration of the actuator unit based at least in part on the difference between the first and second configuration; and determining that the change in configuration corresponds to an improper fit of the actuator unit to the user.

    Abstract: A method of performing a fit test on an actuator unit coupled to a user. The method includes determining a first configuration of the actuator unit while the actuator unit is in an un-actuating state and while the user is in a fit test position; actuating the actuator unit; determining a second configuration of the actuator unit generated in response to the actuating the leg actuator unit; determining a change in configuration of the actuator unit based at least in part on the difference between the first and second configuration; and determining that the change in configuration corresponds to an improper fit of the actuator unit to the user.

    Abstract: A computer implemented method of semi-supervised intent recognition for an exoskeleton system. In one aspect, the method includes, in response to a state transition intention input, changing the exoskeleton system from operating in a first mode with sensitivity to detecting state transitions at a first sensitivity level to operating in a second mode with sensitivity to detecting state transitions at a second sensitivity level that is more sensitive than the first sensitivity level; identifying a state transition while operating in the second mode and using the second sensitivity level; and facilitating the identified state transition by actuating the exoskeleton system.

    Abstract: A method of performing a fit test on an actuator unit coupled to a user. The method includes determining a first configuration of the actuator unit generated in response to actuating the actuator unit while the user is performing one or more movements for the fit test; determining a change from the first configuration of the actuator unit while the user is performing the one or more movements for the fit test; determining that the change from the first configuration corresponds to an improper fit of the actuator unit coupled the user; and generating an improper fit indication that indicates improper fit of at least leg actuator units coupled the user.

    Abstract: A lower-leg exoskeleton including an inflatable actuator that is configured to be worn over a front portion of a foot of a user; a rigid foot structure coupled to the inflatable actuator that is configured to surround a portion of a foot of the user; and a rigid shin structure coupled to the inflatable actuator and configured to engage the shin of the user. When worn by a user, the lower-leg exoskeleton can receive and transmit an actuator load generated by the inflatable actuator to a load contact point defined by the rigid foot structure which is forward of the heel of a user. Inflation of the inflatable actuator can generate a moment about the ankle of a user to cause flexion of the foot of the user.

    Abstract: A robotic system configured to, in response to a state transition intention input, change the robotic system from operating in a first mode with sensitivity to detecting state transitions at a first sensitivity level to operating temporarily in a second mode with sensitivity to detecting state transitions at a second sensitivity level that is more sensitive than the first sensitivity level. The state transition intention input indicates an intention to make a state transition from a first state to a second state, with the second state being possible from a plurality of possible different states.
