- Personalized Exoskeleton – Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) College of Engineering researchers developed new automated feedback system using algorithm that allows exoskeletons to self-adjust ankle mechanisms to minimize energy when walking, optimizing performance and efficiency
- Exoskeleton Benefits – Can augment human abilities, such as walking, lifting heavy objects, and playing sports, as well as allows stroke patients to walk again
- Laboratory Tests – 11 human test subjects walking on treadmill with exoskeleton and respiratory mask to measure oxygen and carbon dioxide levels spent 24% less effort than participants walking with exoskeleton turned off
