Wearable Exoskeletons and Prostheses

Research Description

We are studying energy-efficient actuators and model-based control algorithms for lower and upper-limb exoskeletons and prostheses using integrated biomechatronic systems modelling. Environment recognition systems and onboard sensors inform the dynamic controllers, which optimize the movement assistance and regeneration capabilities of these wearable biomechatronic systems for rehabilitation and manufacturing applications.
