This $200,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation supports fundamental research at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey to develop active methods for preventing slip-induced falls. The research aims to establish an understanding of how an assistive exoskeleton device can cooperate with the human body to prevent falls during gait perturbations. The project will create a novel bidirectional control framework enabling symbiosis and transfer learning between the human and device. This work under NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) has the potential to shift the paradigm of fall prevention approaches, reduce fall-related injuries, and improve quality of life for the fall-prone population. No subawards are planned for this award, which has a performance period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2025.
