Exoskeletons represent an important technology of the future, which in its different fields of application can significantly change life, medical care and the working world for the better in the medium term. Within the framework
of this course format, various aspects and topics related to the development of exoskeletons are addressed in a practical manner through individual projects. The research fields range from biomechanical design, conception of lightweight support structures, development of drive and control concepts to biosignal acquisition and sensor integration. The project topics within ExoskeleTUM are directly related to research topics and projects of the participating chairs (the Chair of Applied Mechanics, the Chair of Ergonomics, the Chair of Carbon Composites, and the Chair for Product Development and Lightweight Design.) and the student initiative DASH whose goal is to participate in the international Cybathlon competition organized by ETH Zurich with their own exoskeleton.

For each chair, a team of students is working on various topics related to the development of the exoskeleton under guidance of the chair staff. In regular project meetings the groups synchronize and learn important skills regarding project organization and teamwork.

Unfortunately, the project seminar will not be offered this semester.
