Man I (Maggie) Wu, a PhD student in robotics, begins to set up equipment for her research related to how lower-body exoskeletons can be used to support people during walking by applying power at the hip, knee, and ankle, in her lab in 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.
