Adapting Exoskeleton Assistance Using Game Theory Algorithms — NSF Award to University of Washington (WA, $908,250)
Lower-limb exoskeletons are robots worn on human legs to help with walking or running. In the future, exoskeletons might be able to help workers, the elderly, or people with disabilities move more easily. Right now, exoskeletons do not work very well because they are programmed to assist in one rigid way nor are they a

| Abstract | Lower-limb exoskeletons are robots worn on human legs to help with walking or running. In the future, exoskeletons might be able to help workers, the elderly, or people with disabilities move more easily. Right now, exoskeletons do not work very well because they are programmed to assist in one rigid way nor are they able to adapt to individual users. This research project will create smarter control systems for exoskeletons to help robots and humans work together, even if their goals differ. Fo |
