Successful start of the DIT-internal research cluster "Active Exoskeletons" (ForCEs)
First project meeting at the Technology Campus Hutthurm together with the project staff of the partner campuses from Freyung and Cham
15.9.2020 | TC Hutthurm
At the kick off for the DIT internally funded project "ForCEs" for newly appointed professors (Prof. Hartmann - TC Hutthurm and Prof. Aumer - TC Cham) the topics around lightweight construction, simulation, sensor and actuator technology as well as connection SmartDevices and virtual reality in connection with the construction of an exoskeleton were discussed. In the first step, the already collected state of the art and science was compiled and subsequently the fields of application such as medicine / rehabilitation, industry and military were discussed. Finally, the further fields of action were discussed and categorized. The aim of the project is to bring together all relevant research areas of the THD in order to be able to offer industry innovative, tailored solutions for new applications of active exoskeletons.
