Updated Multi-joint Soft Exosuit with Automatic Tuning

Caption

The multi-joint soft exosuit consists of textile apparel components worn at the waist, thighs and calves that guide mechanical forces from an optimized mobile actuation system attached to a rucksack via cables to the ankle and hip joints. In addition, a new tuning method helps personalize the exosuit's effects to wearers' specific gaits.
