AI-Powered Training Improves Human Performance in Robotic Exoskeletons (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers at North Carolina State University have demonstrated a new method that leverages artificial intelligence and computer simulations to train robotic exoskeletons to autonomously help users save energy while walking, running and climbing stairs.
In testing with human subjects, the researchers found that study participants used 24.3% less metabolic energy when walking in the robotic exoskeleton than without the exoskeleton. Participants used 13.1% less energy when running in the exoskeleton, and 15.4% less energy when climbing stairs.
