Wu, a PhD student in robotics, 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.
