Exoskeleton and Prosthetic Intelligent Controls (EPIC) Lab

The Exoskeleton and Prosthetic Intelligent Controls (EPIC) Lab at Georgia Tech, led by Dr. Aaron Young, is devoted to the design and control of robotic prostheses and exoskeletons. The EPIC lab has the ability to characterize robotic devices and controller implementation from the ground up, starting at fabrication and bench-top testing, to controller optimization, and ultimately, measuring the effects on human biomechanics and performance outcomes. The central theme of the lab is using machine learning to make these devices intelligent, enabling them to modulate assistance and improve their utility in diverse environments.
