Hip-only Soft Exosuit for both walking and running

Published on Aug 15, 2019


This video demonstrates the use of the hip-assisting exosuit in different natural environments, and shows how the robotic device senses changes in the gait-specific vertical movements of the center of mass during walking and running to rapidly adjust its actuation.
