The system is a tethered #robotic ankle-foot prosthesis designed for research & development aimed at discovering new ways of enhancing #mobility for persons with lower-limb amputation. https://t.co/TcVvNXWSda?amp=1
Bump’em – Stanford’s Gait Perturbation System
Researchers at Stanford University have created a completely open source robotic perturbation system (Bump’em). The system simulates various modes of fall-inducing perturbations in a repeatable way, enabling fundamental research on human gait and balance and facilitate the development of devices to assist human balance. To facilitate use by researchers from all backgrounds, the team designed […]
