The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded a $223,352 Project Grant to the University of Cincinnati to investigate the relationship between an intelligent trunk exoskeleton and its wearer as a basis for improved assistance and rehabilitation. Funded under the Engineering (47.041) program, this award will support research examining how an exoskeleton can enhance trunk function and mobility to potentially assist individuals with disabilities or aid in rehabilitation. A sub-award of $TBD was provided to the University of Wyoming to contribute to this research effort examining exoskeleton technology and its applications. The NSF Engineering program seeks to advance innovation and excellence in engineering to improve lives and economic strength, and this award aims to further those goals through exploring improved exoskeleton design and applications.
