Want to help us build social robots that understand right from wrong? Can robots (and AI) be aware of the values of their decisions and actions? We still have an opportunity for you to join us at Ghent University. @IDLabResearch @ugent_fea bit.ly/3ZagQ1P

Adding compliant actuation to a rigid exoskeleton can decrease EMG activity in BF, LG, and TA muscles.
The potential of unilateral exoskeletons to become an effective training system for patients with hemiparesis is shown in our article
