STARX: New Student Exoskeleton Team Launches Prototype
From: University of Michigan EECS Newsletter - 2017

The nearly-new student team STARX (STrength Augmenting Robotic eXoskeletons)
just completed its second year of making practical powered exoskeletons that
increase the effective strength of the user. Their newest load-bearing
exoskeleton is called the Lexo. In its finished state, the Lexo will transfer
a load of up to 100 lbs off of the user and into the ground. The Lexo is
controlled by two hydraulic dampers attached across the knee joint, run by an
Arduino in an attached backpack unit.
