SARCOS GROUP LC — Department of Defense STTR Phase II: A05-161
SARCOS GROUP LC — STTR Phase II award from Department of Defense.
Phase II STTR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where Department of Defense funds deeper R&D after feasibility. Incumbents with Phase II history are serious competitors on adjacent topics.
- Use this award as past-performance context and to map customer organizations for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition planning.
- Obligated amount $990,596 is consistent with substantial Phase II-scale effort; compare to related awards from the same agency.

Description
A new dual pump hydraulic supply designed to enable energetically autonomous exoskeleton robots will be developed, tested and demonstrated. This new hydraulic supply will be integrated with a high performance hydraulically actuated full body exoskeleton robot and used to test and demonstrate the overall performances of such systems. New control policies that include: (i) an assist mode, where the exoskeleton helps its operator while performing demanding activities such as walking up-hill with a load; and (ii) real-time learning control policies tailored to reduce the operators effort in cyclic gait, such as walking and running, will be used and tested both using simulations and the high performance full body exoskeleton robot.
