Robotics and Systems Control

Work description

The work will begin with the analysis of the existing 2DOF exoskeleton prototype, identifying and implementing improvements in terms of power supply and end-of-stroke sensor integration. Next, the robotic management module will be developed, responsible for receiving human pose information from an external system and coordinating communication and control between the exoskeleton and the robotic manipulator. In parallel, dynamic control of the manipulator will be implemented, ensuring correct coordinate translation between the human reference frame, the exoskeleton, and the robot, ensuring coherent and synchronized interaction. The system will be experimentally tested and validated, evaluating performance, accuracy, and dynamic response. Upon completion, a detailed technical report on the implementation and results obtained is expected, with consideration also given to the development of a scientific paper to disseminate the work developed.
