Exoskeleton Report -- Technology
In today’s workforce status quo, certain jobs inevitably come with a higher risk for bodily injury. Warehouse operators, construction workers, health care workers, agricultural workers, and many essential jobs require lifting, bending, and repetitive movement that can strain the back and body.
Our new hip exo has control of both flexion-extension and ad/abduction torques, which we’ll use to study balance. w/ Vince Chiu & @MichaelRaitor in TMRB.
Philippe Malcolm, Arash Mohammadzadeh Gonabadi & the @UNOBiomechanics team are exploring a hybrid exosuit/exoskeleton design to assist folks with peripheral artery disease walk with less effort. #Biomechanics
They’re working towards reducing the metabolic cost of various gaits with this comfortable & compliant device. @StanfordEng @StevenHCollins @g_m_bryan @p_franks_
Our friends at … (up to ~15% bodyweight). Looking forward to future #biomechanics studies and new #rehabilitation approaches! #AssistiveTech Learn more in this recently published article in @TNSRE1: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9078836
