Abstract The purpose of my project was to design an exoskeleton that helps people with Functional Movement Disorder (FMD) move and be able to perform tasks. My project developed a robotic exoskeleton that interprets electroencephalogram (EEG) signals and translates them into mechanical movements, assisting FMD patients with motor impairments.
