ExoNET
Can you build a minimally-actuated exo-robot as a wearable orthosis? Maybe one that is most simply built out of springs? It may not do everything, but what can you do? The secret is to allow networks of springs, and structural optimization algorithm that tells us how to build it.

ExoNET for Gait
Is it possible to use a network of springs to make up for what the muscles do during walking and hence assist gait? This study shows the potential of the ExoNET device to reproduce the torques generated by your muscles while you walk. We feel that this structural design can guide devices in the future and may lead to clinical tools that are lightweight, unintimidating, easy to use, and inexpensive.
