Ankle Foot Orthosis- ASU Neuromuscular Control & Human Robotics Lab

1DOF robot deployed on SIMULINK Real-Time on Speed Goat hardware. The goal of this robot was to compare our novel variable stiffness controller to benchmark ideas used in the field. The idea is that once we get the required parameter from a subject by making them walk naturally, we can then perturb their gait by introducing weights to the foot  (hence mimicking muscle activation deficiency). The job of the robot is to bring the subject back to their natural walking gait with the perturbation on. The experiments are still undergoing with promising results so far, however we need more subject and better implementation to reach where we want to be.
