Design and development of a prosthetic foot

28.07.2022, Diplomarbeiten, Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten

Most walking robots presented in literature stands on rigid flat feet forcing complex balancing control techniques. In the fields of prosthetics, this is also true, but no voluntary control is present.

This work aims at creating a foot able to comply with uneven terrains and to absorb shocks through the use of soft robotics, while still being able to rigidly support the stance, maintaining a rather extended contact surface, and effectively enlarging the equivalent support polygon.

Technical requirements:
Knowledge in CAD design and biomechanics.

Supervisors:
Prof. Cristina Piazza
Prof. Daniel Rixen
