The new exoskeleton’s process is faster than the conventional approach, in which an expert decides the settings, and it may have incorporated preferences an expert...

Noting the pervasiveness of slower-than-desired walking, engineers at Stanford University have tested how well a prototype exoskeleton system they have developed—which attaches around the shin and into a...
