Lower Limb Exoskeleton
Actuators and controllers for flexible wearable walking-assist robots.
Overview
We develop actuators and control systems for flexible, wearable lower-limb assist robots — hardware that must be light, compliant, and powerful at once.
The work spans 3D-printed sensing suits for walking-ability enhancement and actuator/controller development for flexible lower-limb assistive robots.
