Getting People Moving - Walking Exoskeletons Could Mobilize Disabled Patients
From: University of Michigan Electrical & Computer Engineering - 09/07/2017

Prof. Jessy Grizzle has long said that his work in robotics could one day be
used to help the disabled. Now he and his group, alongside French company
Wandercraft, are working to make that claim a reality in the form of walking
exoskeletons.

PhD student Omar Harib, postdoctoral researcher Ayonga Hereid, and PhD
student Eva Mungai spent four days in July working with Wandercraft in Paris.
The company’s goal is to create an exoskeleton that will allow patients that
are paralyzed from the waist down to walk upright, with a natural gait and
the freedom to use their hands.
