Showing results for skeleton

Washington Post reporter Sarah Larimer has always wanted to try luge. So she met with coaches from USA Luge and the Adirondack Luge Club in Lake Placid, NY, to give her Olympic dreams a shot.

Our first ever 360 film footage from The Vyne’s roof shows the immense scale of the £5.4m conservation project to save it. Get get a bird’s eye view of the contractors at work and spot some of our visitors on the new, all-access walkway. Look down on dramatic views of The Vyne’s rooftops – a scene which changes daily as the tiles are removed, exposing the ancient timber skeleton above historic interiors like the 16th century oak gallery.

The Human Robotics Lab at the University of Delaware develops robotic devices for physical interaction with humans and pursues their application in motion augmentation, rehabilitation and as advanced tools to study movement neuromechanics. Room 124 is used for experiments on human robot interaction. Two exoskeletal robots are currently used: the ALEX-II, a treadmill based leg exoskeleton for gait training, and the MR-SoftWrist, an MR-compatible wrist robot for experiments on the control of wrist movements during functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

The Human Robotics Lab at the University of Delaware develops robotic devices for physical interaction with humans and pursues their application in motion augmentation, rehabilitation and as advanced tools to study movement neuromechanics. Room 124B is used for the fabrication and testing of human-interacting robots. Two systems are currently being tested: the UDiffWrist, a lightweight cable-driven wrist exoskeleton used for robot-aided rehabilitation of fine motor skills, and the EMG-controlled ball and beam, a system used for teaching neuromuscular interfaces and nonlinear controls in the class Biomechatronics (BMEG467/667).
