Our final polymer samples are in and ready for testing! We are beginning to interchange our newly donated samples for our next stage prototype and see how each reacts under various loads and circumstances. With this new data we will be able to find out how the suit will react under different strains and how it affects the user’s ability …
This week we have received our initial polymer material samples. Over the weekend we set a mold to cure and the sample came out great. We have begun testing it for strength and are going to be incorporating it into our prototype. We are still awaiting more polymer samples this week to make comparisons and determine with type of polymers …
Testing and Prototyping Exosuit had its first review meeting for the winter quarter to showcase the progress. We were able to gain great suggestions and guidance to make the project a success despite the obstacles that had presented in our way. Currently we contacted some companies that are willing to provide samples of the different materials we believe suitable for …
Our group, Exosuit, has been seeking out different avenues of display to showcase our completed soft robotic upper body exosuit for rehabilitation and military uses. In doing this we have found that robotic competitions are more suitable for our end goal of taking the finished product to market. We are confident in our ability to perform well and win at …
As we come closer to the end of Fall quarter, we are excited to be prototyping!! After working on our research poster, as well as our prototype, we are also approaching the deadline for the submission of our application for WearRAcon 16!! EXOSUIT is working tirelessly towards the improvement our prototype by getting all the necessary components to be a …
Progress in the Exosuit is continuing the be made despite having midterms and reports due Weeks 5 and 6. We met with Professor Reinkensmeyer in order to touch base with our project and update him on our progress. We completed our UROP proposal and submitted it for approval. Having already completed our finalized budget previously, we learned how to fill …
The Exosuit project is off to an uplifting start as parts for the initial prototype are on their way for delivery. Here’s a brief timeline of what has been accomplished behind the scenes so far: The Exosuit project concept became finalized during the summer at a brainstorming session among project leads. Weeks 0, 1, and 2 were busy as UROP …
