CS Colloq: Dr. Sunil K. Agrawal
Tue, Sep 01, 2009 @ 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM
Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Time: 4 PM - 5 PMLocation: SSL 150Talk title: Robotic Exoskeletons for Gait Assistance and Training of the Motor Impaired
Speaker: Prof. Sunil K. Agrawal (University of Delaware)
Host: Prof. Gaurav S. SukhatmeAbstract:
Robotics is emerging as a promising tool for training of human functional movements. The talk will describe novel designs of lower extremity exoskeletons, intended for gait assistance and training of motor-impaired patients. The exoskeletons have undergone tests on healthy and chronic stroke survivors to assess their potential. GBO is a Gravity Balancing un-motorized Orthosis which can alter the gravity acting at the hip and knee joints during swing. ALEX is an Actively driven Leg Exoskeleton which can modulate the foot trajectory using motors at the joints. This research was supported by NIH through a BRP program.

1st General Meeting
Tue, Sep 01, 2009 @ 06:30 PM - 07:30 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Organizations
Student Activity
If you are interested in biotechnology and it's related fields, ASBME is THE student organization to get involved with! Come to our first meeting to meet some of the BME staff and mingle with old and new members. Find out what USC ASBME is all about and hear our goals for the semester. Membership applications and dues will be accepted and information on applying for the Freshman Representative position will be given. It's a great way to find out more about biomedical engineering at USC and network with your colleagues. Also, free food (pasta) will be provided!We look forward to seeing you there!
Location: James H. Zumberge Hall Of Science (ZHS) - 252
Audiences: Anyone who is interested in biotechnology and it's related fields
