 n\nAbstract:\n\nSoft wearable exosuits have been introduced in the last de
 cade as possible candidates to overcome the limitations from devices using
  rigid structures: the exoskeletons.\n\nDespite the Exosuits initially pro
 mised tangible improvements\, yet their soft wearable architecture present
 s strong drawbacks\, placing this technology more in a complementary posit
 ion rather than on a higher step of the podium respect to their predecesso
 rs.\n\nMotivations can be found in their soft structure which not only und
 ershoots in terms of assistance delivery respect to the exoskeletons\, but
  also introduces non-linear dynamic behaviours making difficult the formal
 ization of a robust control implementation and substantially hampering the
  matching with the wearer´s biomechanics.\n\nDuring my speech I will intr
 oduce the progress from our research on soft wearable exosuits for upper a
 nd lower limb\, by presenting novel solutions on mechanical design of both
  harness and actuation\, novel implementation of control strategies to mas
 ter the non-linear behaviours. I will discuss in details how using biosign
 als by means of a realtime myoprocessor based on musculoskeletal dynamics 
 which provide a symbiotic interface between the exosuit and the user and c
 ompared such a solution with a classical approach based on admittance cont
 rol. I will introduce our novel solutions in lower limb assistive devices 
 using non-linear adaptive oscillators and machine learning.\n\nSpeaker(s):
