Refinement and Optimization of an Existing Reinforcement Learning Framework for Back Exoskeleton Control
Contacts: Marta Gandolla, Andrea Dal Prete Location: Politecnico di Milano (Bovisa Campus) Motivation of the study. Back exoskeletons are increasingly studied to reduce spinal loads and muscular effort in physically demanding tasks, with both rigid and soft designs showing promising results. However, widespread adoption is limited by the challenge of developing controllers that can adapt to different

Real-Time Estimation of Arm Impedance and Variable Admittance Control for Elbow Exosuit
Contacts: Marta Gandolla, Andrea Dal Prete, Ali KhalilianMotamed Bonab Location: Politecnico di Milano (Bovisa Campus) – Scuola Sant’Anna di Pisa Motivation of the study. This thesis, developed within a collaboration between Politecnico di Milano and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, focuses on adaptive control strategies for a hybrid soft–rigid elbow exosuit. The project aims to estimate user biomechanical impedance

Design of a Hybrid Rigid-Soft Cable-Driven Back Exoskeleton
Contacts: Marta Gandolla, Andrea Dal Prete, Ali KhalilianMotamed Bonab Location: Politecnico di Milano (Bovisa Campus) – Scuola Sant’Anna di Pisa Motivation of the study. Musculoskeletal disorders are a major concern in jobs involving repetitive lifting, as they increase spinal loading, fatigue, and the risk of back injuries. Back support exoskeletons (BEs) aim to reduce these
