Missions
Research and developments
Activities
- Design tactile sensors that can measure shear force between exoskeleton and human skin for online control of the exoskeleton;
- Optimize the parameters of the sensor (e.g., thickness and period of the magnetic film) to balance the sensitivity and range of the force measurement;
- Optimize the shape and size of the sensor to fit the shape and space of the exoskeleton;
- Develop effective algorithms to decouple normal and shear forces applied on the sensor in arbitrary directions.
- Design implantable tactile sensors that can measure 6-DOF displacements (translational and rotational) between the thigh/femur and the shin/tibia of the artificial knee joint for online control of the knee prothesis.
Skills
- Robotics
- Sensor instrumentation
