The Rehab Robotics Lab has developed wearable robots, including

  1. 2 Degrees of freedom ankle-foot prosthesis with active plantarflexion and in/eversion
    This device has been used to identify the importance of personalization in reducing walking effort, socket interface pressure, and improving comfort.

  2. 2 Degrees of freedom ankle-foot orthosis with active plantarflexion and in/eversion
    We used this device to design personalized assistance during squatting and the underlying mechanism. This device also serves to understand the importance of user guidance on wearable robot use.

  3. 3D-printed, modular, 2Degrees of freedom ankle-foot orthosis using additive manufacturing technology
    This device will help to personalize the assistance for various populations.
