Overview
A student project exploring a wearable lower-limb exoskeleton, based initially on the open-source OpenExo platform.
The challenge
Explore ways to support movement while addressing comfort, weight, power use and coordination with the wearer.
Our approach
The initial technical focus is the hip joint. The project combines mechanical design, electronics and automation; possible future control approaches include movement sensing and muscle signals.
Current stage and progress
The project is listed as execution in progress. Assembly and testing progress needs confirmation.
Roadmap
The existing plan describes obtaining and manufacturing parts, assembling a hip prototype and considering further development after the initial build.
Expected outcomes and impact
A hip exoskeleton prototype and practical experience in robotics, electronics and control.
Team and partners
The project documentation describes a collaboration between BEA and AEA, with mechanics, electronics and automation teams. Named participants need confirmation.
Resources and collaboration
The project uses the open-source OpenExo resources. Current funding and support needs: -
