This project is a modular, computationally‐distributed multi‐robot cyberphysical system (CPS) for assisting young developmentally‐delayed children in learning to walk. Three challenges are stabilizing medio‐lateral body sway, developing gait that exploits energy exchange, and coordination of multiple degrees of freedom. Adults assisting children learning to walk provide a “scaffold” of postural supports that enables the child to safely explore the forces acting on its body.
