Photo by Queen s University /Supplied Photo Article content Researchers at Queen’s University believe they have come up with a way to make walking, hiking and running more efficient. Developed by a multidisciplinary team from the Queen’s faculty of engineering and applied science, an exoskeleton was manufactured that allows users to walk farther while using less energy. The backpack-mounted prototype removes energy during a specific phase of the gait cycle, lessening the metabolic cost of walking, a news release from Queen’s said.

Wearable device may help shine light on health benefits of outdoor lighting

IMAGE: Penn State Interdisciplinary, DIY Approach Rhudy said the team took a do-it-yourself approach to building the device, relying on readily available off-the-shelf components. The total cost was about $70, based on that approach, he added. “I could see that it could be done cheaper – especially if we could maybe work with an electronics company and mass produce it,” he said. The model currently does not have the ability to transmit data, but wireless addition, such as Bluetooth, could be added to future versions. According to Rhudy, without Penn State Berks’ formal and informal encouragement of interdisciplinary collaborations, the work may have never seen the light, so to speak. Rhudy’s engineering background needed to be augmented with his teammates’ psychological and biomechanical expertise, he said.
