Robotic lower-limb exoskeleton: demo video

A research team led by mechatronic systems engineering professors Siamak Arzanpour and Edward Park is developing a robotic leg that could help wheelchair users walk again. The lower-body exoskeleton is a wearable suit strapped around the leg that powers limbs unable to move independently. The system is able to mimic natural human hip motions—a breakthrough for robotic exoskeleton devices. Team members: Professors Siamak Arzanpour and Edward Park, and mechatronic systems engineering students Soheil Sadeqi (PhD) and Shaun Bourgeois (M.A.Sc.)
