Research Photos for the Center for Ergonomics, department of Industrial & Operations Engineering

Jacqueline Hannan, a PhD student in industrial and operations engineering, demonstrates 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.

 

This is part of Man I (Maggie) Wu’s research. 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.
