Ultrasonic sensor technology meets exoskeleton
The MSE Lab (Prof. Christian Kupsch) has launched an exciting collaboration with the Chair of Automated and Autonomous Systems (Prof. Robert Weidner).
The aim of this collaboration is to develop and test ultrasound-based wearable sensors that can precisely detect muscle fatigue and movement intention. In the future, this technology could make an important contribution to the control and support of exoskeletons - a key technology for rehabilitation, industry and everyday assistance.
To kick things off, we visited Prof Weidner's team today. We were not only able to see the exoskeletons in action, but also try them out for ourselves. This gave us valuable insights into technical requirements and operating conditions, while also allowing us to deepen our personal exchange.
We look forward to further expanding this new collaboration and combining our expertise in sensor system technology with the innovative work in the field of exoskeletons.
