Postdoctoral Research Associate - Mechanical and Industrial Engineering in UMass Lowell
The Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering in collaboration with the Miner School of Computer Science are seeking a postdoctoral researcher who will have the opportunity to conduct wearable robot research and development. Through an award from the National Science Foundation, the project seeks to develop wearable robotic assistive strategies that adapt to the user’s needs and environment. In this portion of the project, we aim to use soft wearable sensors at the hip and knee to extract information about the user’s walking mechanics and update control strategies. To achieve the specific aims of the project, the researcher will need to identify salient features from the collected data that can be used to update the controller as user/task demands change, incorporate the data into a real-time controller, and evaluate the effectiveness of the control approach.
