SmartANKLE MSCA Doctoral Network

The SmartANKLE project will train a new generation of highly skilled individuals with the ability to develop and bring forward biomechatronic technology for an effective translation from the workbench to the fruition by the general public. Project aims: 1. To develop application-aware and modular biomechanical designs for Smart Mechatronic Ankle-Foot Orthoses, that consider needs and requirements of different applications in a scalable way. 2. To develop cutting-edge, compact actuation systems that can be used to deploy optimal and application-specific torque profiles. 3. To develop smart automatic and volitional activation strategies for allowing users to reliably and safely control the Smart Mechatronic Ankle-Foot Orthoses. This project has received funding from the European Union’s MSCA Doctoral Networks programme under grant agreement No 101119433.
