Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a groundbreaking method using AI and simulations to train robotic exoskeletons. This innovation aims to improve users’ energy efficiency while walking, running, and climbing stairs. The AI-controlled exoskeletons, trained through computer simulations, assist users without the need for extensive manual training. Testing showed that participants used significantly less energy with the exoskeleton: 24.3% less for walking, 13.1% for running, and 15.4% for stair climbing. This advancement, potentially beneficial for both able-bodied individuals and those with mobility impairments.
