Harvard Exosuit
- In order to develop an under-suit that doesn’t interrupt wearer’s free movement, researchers are trying to make it soft and deformable, but still capable of applying force to body joints.
- Harvard Biodesign group, one of a project groups in this program, is trying to make their warrior web suit soft and light, and they call their suit harvard exosuit.
- Experimental data proved that it can help loaded walking by reducing metabolic costs.
