DAVID WILKINSON

• Expected Completion: May 2002
• Advisor: Dimitrios Apostolopoulos, Yoky Matsuoka
• First Year Projects: Sun-Synchronous Rover Mechanical Design, Unmanned Ground Combat Vehicle Dynamic Analysis
• Second Year Projects: An Anatomically Based Mechanical Hand, Wearable Exoskeleton Device for the Disabled
• Research Interests: My main interests lie in the mechanical design and control of robots and robotic mechanisms, including mobile robots, actuator designs, and exoskeletons to name a few. I would like to use robotics to make an impact on any or all of the following fields: space and planet exploration, underwater exploration, search and rescue, aids for the disabled, and military equipment including mobile reconnaissance robots.
  My current research is directed towards designing and building a wearable exoskeleton for the human arm to provide motion and strength for a disabled or elderly person. A main focus of this research is the investigation of novel actuator designs. I may also attempt to apply this technology towards augmenting the strength of a healthy individual for military and/or industrial applications.
• Notes: I will most likely be moving back to the Boston area with my wife in the summer of 2002 and will be interested in obtaining employment at an engineering company in the region.
