IdR69/26 - Selection, sizing, optimization, and implementation of compact and efficient actuation systems for assistive exoskeletons
The activity involves the analysis, selection, and sizing of compact and efficient actuation systems for assistive exoskeletons, based on the biomechanical and functional requirements of the device. Mechanical and electromechanical integration solutions will be assessed and optimized, with particular attention to size, weight, efficiency, and reliability. The selected solutions will then be integrated into a functional prototype of the assistive exoskeleton. The prototype will be used to validate the design choices and assess the performance of the actuation system.
Selection process
The competition will be carried out by an evaluation of titles and examination by means of an interview.
For admission to the selection process referred to in Art. 1, potential candidates must fulfil the following requirements:a) Master’s Degree [Laurea Magistrale o a ciclo unico awarded pursuant to Art. 3(1n), Ministerial Decree no. 270 of 22/10/04], obtained no more than six years before the expiry date of this call;b) Possession of a curriculum suitable for assisting in carrying out research activities;c) Knowledge of the following foreign language: English.
