This video does a great job showing how the biological torque prediction works for all sorts of tasks--cyclic, noncyclic, and even unstructured/undefinable movements. First time I've worn an active exoskeleton for hours without ever needing to turn it off!
In our new Nature publication, we present a deep learning-based, task-agnostic exoskeleton controller evaluated on over 30 human activities – a major effort towards real-world viability of exoskeletons.

@plopesresearch @Owen1Beck @NeuromechanicsL @GT_PoWeR_Lab @shn_kasa @JunNishidaLab Thanks Pedro! Very cool idea to test agency with the superhuman reflexes--it's certainly a different feeling when the device moves before you do
