dc.description.abstractEarly last year, the first suspended load backpack was created by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania. Analysis from this prototype shows its ability to simultaneously (1) generate electrical energy and (2) carry a load at lower metabolic costs than would be needed to generate the same electrical energy and carry the backpack separately. However, little is known about the reason for this phenomenon as well as the dynamics of this system. Our client, Professor Art Kuo of the University of Michigan Department of Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, asked our team to build a suspended-load backpack to further his research of metabolic savings and walking dynamics.en_US
