Intervention area

Mobility

Start date

January 1, 2016

End date

This mandate corresponds to the continuation of mandates #39 and #39B, aimed at studying magnetorheological (MR) sliding clutch actuation for the realization of a lower-limb exoskeleton. This mandate will enable us to make the first prototype functional, take measurements to characterize performance, and publish it scientifically at a robotics conference.
