What researchers observed
A pilot study used AI and muscle signals to classify fatigue during passive exoskeleton-assisted squats.
What this could mean
This could help researchers measure fatigue more precisely and quickly when testing wearable exoskeletons, improving study methods and future device designs.
What researchers still need to learn
Researchers still need to learn whether this approach works well in larger and more varied groups and real-world settings.
