It's alive!

As of today, my machine is up and running! Woo hoo!

(A little background: To fulfill my phD I was to build a robotic machine that helps people recovering from brain injury relearn walking and then test it in a couple of subjects. Step 1 complete!)

I still can't believe I built something that actually works. You know what they say though, the device is only as smart as its creator. Let's hope I'm a smart enough cookie! (Smart enough for what you might ask, I dunno, my worst fear is that my creation hurts somebody...)

Should be taking video tomorrow, so I will try and see if I can post my first video here!

Take care and have a great day!
