ME6250 (Wearable Robotics) course reviews and ratings at Northeastern (NEU). Compare professors with RateMyProfessor reviews.
Presents the design, control, and evaluation of prosthetics and exoskeletons based on core concepts in human movement, with special focus on assisting and rehabilitating pathological gait. Introduces the biological systems that enable human movement, biomechanical modeling and simulation, actuation design, control architectures, and key considerations for interfacing mechanical systems with the human body. Culminates with group projects in which teams either design, control, and analyze a wearable robotic system or write a perspective on a subtopic within the field of wearable robotics.
