Medical Robotics Expert Explores the Human-Machine Interface From: Robotics Trends Insights Newsletter - 04-29/2009 By: Dan Kara UC Santa Cruz researcher Jacob Rosen is developing a robotics exoskeleton that has the potential to help the disabled and infirmed. Like many others, University of California, Santa Cruz researcher Jacob Rosen is developing a robotics exoskeleton that has the potential to help the disabled and infirmed. Unlike other exoskeleton projects, however, Rosen’s design allows the user to reach 95 percent of the natural range of motion. Also, Rosen is looking into using neurological signals to control the exoskeleton.
