SUMMARY:Start of Project March edX Online Class on Exoskeletons
DESCRIPTION:Project MARCH: behind the technology of robotic exoskeletons\n“Learn about cutting-edge exoskeleton technology that can help people with spinal cord injuries to walk again. Create your own vision of how to advance this technology in the future\, benefiting from the hands-on experience of the Project MARCH student team in building exoskeletons.” \n” \n\nAbout this course\nSkip About this course\n\n\nOver the last 20 years\, exoskeletons have gained an increasing amount of attention as an assistive device to help people with spinal cord injury stand up and walk again. While this cutting-edge technology can have many applications – for example\, in military or industrial settings – this course focuses on the use of powered exoskeletons in the medical field\, specifically for people with spinal cord injury. Each year\, between 250\,000 and 500\,000 people worldwide suffer from spinal cord injury. Amongst many possible symptoms\, this may result in a loss of motor control in large parts of the body\, including the legs. \nThe course is open to anyone interested in exoskeletons for the medical or technological field. This includes\, but is not limited to\, people who: \n\nare eager to learn about exoskeleton technology;\nare university students interested in medical or technological topics;\nare working in a non-biomechanical field and are simply enthusiastic about exoskeleton technology;\nhave some experience of working on a biomechanical project.\n\nThe course delivers a complete overview of all aspects of exoskeleton technology. Topics range from the health benefits of exoskeletons and the importance of co-creation with the user\, to mechanical structure and developing ‘smarter’ exoskeletons. You will strengthen your analytical and creative mindset by designing solutions to given problems and by analyzing current challenges in the field of exoskeleton technology. Through discussions with fellow participants\, you will form your own vision about the future of exoskeletons. \n\nWhat you’ll learn\n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the role of exoskeletons in paraplegia induced by Spinal Cord Injury\nCompare existing exoskeletons and employ them as inspiration for future design\nUnderstand the interaction between humans and machines\nApply analytical and creative thinking to design questions\nPerform basic calculations relevant to exoskeleton design and performance\nUnderstand the importance of balance and methods applied to achieve balance in exoskeletons”\n\n\n\nThis course is developed by and uses examples from Project MARCH: the exoskeleton-building team consisting of students from TU Delft. This team consists of around twenty-five students from different disciplines who volunteer to participate in the project over the course of a full year. Drawing from their hands-on experience and the knowledge gained while researching\, designing and building different exoskeletons over the years\, they are ideally placed to provide you with a complete online course covering the design\, use and future challenges of letting people with spinal cord injury walk again. \nCourse Website: link
