Assisting Locomotion

We are developing clothing-like, soft wearable robots that use textiles to generate forces in parallel with the human musculature. In addition to augmenting the capabilities of able-bodied individuals, these devices have tremendous applications as...

For centuries, engineers have proposed different devices to augment basic human locomotion, such as walking and running. However, as humans are highly optimized to move efficiently, it is known to be hard further improving one’s energy economy with...
