Welcome to the site

Welcome!

This is the website for Project Hermes, an electrical engineering (ECE) senior design project at George Mason University. This project was started in Fall 2014 and will continue to Spring 2015.

The purpose of this project, as stated in our “About” page, is to design, construct, and test a motorized leg brace. We’ll be periodically updating our site although right now, we’ll be posting a lot of information at once.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact us or a leave comment!
