We have made a lot of progress since our last update. We have performed mobility testing with our first prototype and figured out what we wanted to change with our second prototype. We then built a second prototype, which we will have images of on this site soon. We plan to test out this second prototype with a more quantitative method, Electromyography, which basically measures muscle exertion. We will use this to prove that our exoskeleton reduces the load on the lower back muscles, thereby reducing injury. Yesterday, we presented some of our findings at the UMD Undergraduate Research Day poster fair. We also had a live demonstration of our new prototype for people to look at.
