Speaker: Prof. Bai Shaoping (Aalborg University)

Time: December 11, 10:30

Venue: Building No.30, Wushan Campus (Room 223)

[Abstract]

This talk will provide a brief overview of wearable technology development at the Exoskeleton Lab, AAU, addressing research challenges in assistive exoskeletons and wearable sensors.  Fundamental research issues including innovative mechanism design, physical human-exoskeleton interaction, sensing and control, and performance assessment will be covered. Novel designs and sensing methods will be presented. Systems of upper-body and lower-body exoskeletons developed for rehabilitation and workplace assistance will be outlined.  In addition, a case of innovation of a wearable sensor for general human-robot interfacing is introduced.
