Want to asses stabilizing feedback control of walking? @MAfschrift @DieenJaap and me got you covered! Last year, we gave a workshop for @ISEKCongress (https://t.co/SVTeGQeGb5). Now, we have a paper on that submitted (preprint: https://t.co/VBLEbP63Gn), which comes with 1/2

I totally agree; cool opportunity if you like biomechanics, computer simulations, human balance control and exoskeletons 🙂

I hope that this is a step forward in the design of exoskeletons that can support balance during daily live. Thanks to @FWO, @KULeuven, @VU_FBW and @UniversityTwente for supporting this work ! [11/n]

[Maarten Afschrift @MAfschrift]

On a personal note: It was not always easy to work on this project due the short nights with my lovely daughters and my new job as assistant professor @VU_FBW . Thanks for the amazing support @FriedlDeGroote, @Edwin (and not on twitter co-authors)! [12/n]
