Soft back exosuit controlled by neuro-mechanical modeling provides adaptive assistance while lifting unknown loads and reduces lumbosacral compression forces. [PDF]

Wearable Technol
State-of-the-art controllers for active back exosuits rely on body kinematics and state machines. These controllers do not continuously target the lumbosacral compression forces or adapt to unknown external loads.

Lightweight active back exosuit reduces muscular effort during an hour-long order picking task [PDF]

Communications Engineering
Occupational back exoskeletons and exosuits aim to reduce low back injuries in the workplace. For these technologies to be adopted, it is important that they provide biomechanical benefits to the wearer and do not disrupt job performance. To address this
