Evaluating the Performance of Joint Angle Estimation Algorithms on an Exoskeleton Mock-Up via a Modular Testing Approach

Sensors
A common challenge for exoskeleton control is discerning operator intent to provide seamless actuation of the device with the operator. One way to accomplish this is with joint angle estimation algorithms and multiple sensors on the human–machine system.

Design of Adjustable Device for Exoskeleton

This final thesis project explores the improvement of an adjustable device designed to enhance the safety of exoskeletons used in physically demanding environments such as in the forestry industry. The project aims to redesign the mechanism of an existing adjustable device but for a different application on a wearable harness.
