- To augment positive work done by the muscles and reduce the physical burden
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 in that waysoft and light, and they call their suit harvard exosuit.
Challenges
The key challenge to develop soft wearable exosuit are
...
- Experimental data proved that it can help loaded walking by reducing metabolic costs.
Challenges
it is difficult to analyze the effectivness of exosuit
It is difficult to find the optimal input force for actuators to reduce the metabolic cost
It is difficult to identify the effect of change of design parameters
The main reason
It is difficult to analyze the effectiveness of the exosuit. The under-suit may be soft and deformable
