Congrats to Matt on publishing his research on human-exosuit interface dynamics in JNER

Posted by on Thursday, June 1, 2017 in News.

Congrats to Matthew Yandell, whose research on human-exosuit interface dynamics was recently published in the Journal of NeuroEngineering & Rehabilitation. This research was carried out in collaboration with researchers at Harvard. It highlights how interface dynamics (due to deformation of biological soft tissues and stretching of synthetic materials) complicate how wearable robots assist human movement. This work introduces new methods to help engineers to more quickly and effectively refine and optimize their device designs.
