Passive Ankle Module design for Exoskeleton
Project Description
To tackle the variety of terrain encountered by the exoskeleton, while balancing among compatibility, flexibility, controllability and ergonomics, the design of a passive ankle module is proposed and prototyped. Testing, iterative re-design and integration with exoskeleton are some of the tasks foreseen for the current project.
