Man I (Maggie) Wu, a PhD student in robotics, left, talks with Jacqueline Hannan, a PhD student in industrial and operations engineering, as they begin to demonstrate walking with a lower-body exoskeleton at the Engineering Research Building on the North Campus of the University of Michigan on Wednesday, April 6, 2022.
Wu said the purpose of the investigations is to learn how people respond to lower-body exoskeletons. Specifically, she’s interested in times when the exoskeleton makes an error. The users' responses will then inform the development of future exoskeleton controllers to support human-exoskeleton coordination and fluency.
