The team at Stanford are using Raspberry Pis to help drive this exoskeleton. From MagPi:
Raspberry Pi always has the potential to put a spring in our step but, in the case of this project, it’s doing so in a literal sense. A research group at Stanford University has designed a robotic exoskeleton – an external frame that aims to support the body – with the aim of helping people with mobility impairments to walk and run more quickly. It’s worn over the lower leg like a boot, and it has the potential to be revolutionary.
