    Wearable Robots: Assistive Devices for Human Movement

     

    Información del curso

     

     

    Fecha: De junio 9 a junio 20 de 2023

    Horario: 08:00 a 12:00, 14:00 a 16:00

    Modalidad: Presencial

    Idioma: Inglés y español

     

    This interdisciplinary course will cover different aspects involved in assistive devices for human movement. Specifically, the course will provide an overview of the human musculoskeletal system, experimental methods to track human motion, commonly used device sensors, and control strategies. Students will have the chance to apply concepts learned in the class through OpenSim, an open-source musculoskeletal modeling software, and will work in groups to investigate a specific topic of their choice further in depth to present to the class.

Dr Cara Welker obtained her PhD degree in Bioengineering at Stanford University, USA. Currently, she is a visiting assistant professor professor at University of Colorado and a Posdoctoral Fellow at University of Michigan. Her research lies at the intersection of biomechanics, haptics, and robotics.

She is interested in developing assistive devices, both to augment human performance in healthy individuals, as well as to train or compensate for deficits for those with impairments. Topics of particular interest for her are: (1) clever design of passive devices to assist human movement; (2) human-in-the-loop control strategies that incorporate user preference; and (3) designing experiments that give us insight into human sensorimotor control.
