Want to asses stabilizing feedback control of walking? @MAfschrift @DieenJaap and me got you covered! Last year, we gave a workshop for @ISEKCongress (isek.org/isek-jek-tutorials/). Now, we have a paper on that submitted (preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…), which comes with 1/2
I totally agree; cool opportunity if you like biomechanics, computer simulations, human balance control and exoskeletons 🙂
On a personal note: It was not always easy to work on this project due the short nights with my lovely daughters and my new job as assistant professor @VU_FBW . Thanks for the amazing support @FriedlDeGroote, @Edwin (and not on twitter co-authors)! [12/n]
