Abstract
Technical project is on the development of a rigid lower limb exoskeleton to assist elderly patients with sitting and standing. Methods used include video analysis, 3D printing for structural parts, and the utilization of high torque stepper motors for motion control. The STS portion covers the discovery of unethical labor practices that go into sourcing materials for high capacity batteries.
