Get Involved in LLEAP, the Robotic Exoskeleton Project
From Honors Student, Laura McGann (4th year Computer Science major)
Are you ready to apply what classes have taught you and learn even more industry-standard skills to tackle a complex, real-world, engineering project? We need you! We are building a lower-limb, robotic exoskeleton for a local community member, and we are looking for new members of all experience levels to work on prototyping, controls, software architecture, simulation, sensing, and more. Check out our flyer for more details, and if any of this sounds interesting, come to our weekly Thursday meetings @6pm (starting January 6th) in the TECHE Lab (previously QL+ Lab) in Engineering IV. You can also join our mailing list at the bottom of their website (www.cpempower.com/lleap) or email LLeapexo@gmail.com to learn more and start contributing to this impactful project!
