Description
The goal of the BALANCE project is to realize an exoskeletal robot that improves the balance performance of humans, targeted at users facing balance-challenging conditions or suffering from a lack of ability to walk or maintain balance during walking. The proposed exoskeleton is human-cooperative in the sense that the control of the exoskeleton is complementary to the remaining human control. Depending on application it can either assist only in difficult conditions or in case of erroneous behaviour of the user, or can assist the user maximally. The ultimate goal is to have the exoskeleton seamlessly cooperate with the human. The exploitation of the results will focus on applications in neurorehabilitation and worker support.
