STRIVE Center hosts University of Michigan for Exoskeleton Study
MIT Lincoln Laboratory’s Sensorimotor Technology Realization in Immersive Virtual Environments (STRIVE) Center houses technology that can be used to simulate environments for studies of human motion. In collaboration with the University of Michigan, STRIVE Center researchers are investigating how human-machine interfaces influence decision making and task performance. The volunteer subjects of this study were immersed in a 360-degree virtual environment with a simulated intersection. Participants walked through the city scene on a force-measuring treadmill while wearing an exoskeleton. This study aims to answer the question: How does the use of an exoskeleton impact one's decision to cross a street during a yellow light?
