Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Course subject(s) Module 0. Welcome to Project March: behind the technology of robotic exoskleletons

The “Project MARCH: Behind the technology of exoskeletons” course is live!

People with paraplegia are often bound to a wheelchair for the rest of their life, experiencing the negative mental and physical consequences this brings.
Exoskeletons can change this, by improving the quality of life for these people.

In this course, you will become familiar with many of the aspects regarding exoskeleton technology: from what paraplegia is to the Center of Mass, and from walking patterns to exoskeleton joints. What we intend to teach you, is to appreciate the value of exoskeletons for people with paraplegia, and stimulate you to actively think with us about improvements that are yet to be made in the field.

The workload for the course includes short video lectures, quizzes, assignments, calculations, and reading materials. Of course, we also greatly encourage you to participate in the discussion forums with other students, ask questions, and share links and ideas.

We are excited to teach all of you and learn together. The course is structured into six course weeks, which will gradually become available throughout the course. Good luck with completing the course!

We look forward to your participation in this course!

– The Project MARCH course team.
