Exoskeleton Helps Amputees to 'Power Walk'
University of Utah engineers are developing a lightweight, motorized exoskeleton that can restore much of the sensation of walking with two healthy legs.
“The exoskeleton’s AI understands how the person moves and assists how the person moves,” said U mechanical engineering graduate student, Dante A. Archangeli .
