The following video was produced by Engineering TV for viewing on their web site (engineeringtv.com):

  • Interview with Dan Ferris about powered orthoses research in the Human Neuromechanics Laboratory (wmv file)

The following videos were taking during data collections as part of the research we are doing on pneumatically powered lower limb exoskeletons.

  • Healthy subject walking with a powered ankle-foot orthosis (mpg file)
  • Healthy subject walking with a powered knee-ankle-foot orthosis (mpg file)
  • Healthy subject walking in place with a powered hip orthosis (mpg file)

To find out more about the control of the hopping robot, read about the research we are doing on computer simulations of neuromechanical systems.

  • Hopping robot controlled by an artificial neural oscillator (mpg file)

Here is a video of our new split-belt force-measuring treadmill in action.
