Project MARCH is a TU Delft team who makes an exoskeleton for people with a spinal cord injury.

Project MARCH is a team that consists of 26 students from the Delft University of Technology, that designs and builds the MARCH exoskeleton. With this exoskeleton, people with paraplegia will be able to stand up and walk again, giving a boost to both the physical and mental health! By giving the user control over the exoskeleton and by making smart use of sensors, the user will be able to walk with the MARCH intuitively despite the lack of sense in the legs. In close collaboration with our pilot Koen, we develop the most impactful innovations in order to give the exoskeleton technology a big push forward!

Meet Electronics!

The Electronics department forms the bridge between our Software and Mechanical departments. They are responsible for the design and implementation of all the electronics in the exoskeleton, ensuring that every component of the exoskeleton receives the right amount of power and that communication between parts runs smoothly.

👨‍💻 Lead Electrical, Nikki, takes on the task of keeping an overview of the Electrical Department. She is the main point of contact for the Chief Engineer, and together with the Lead Mechanical, Lead Software and Lead Control, she discusses the system-level decisions that need to be made.

🔋 Our Electrical Engineers, Nelson, Esther, and Jacob, make sure each component receives exactly the power it needs. They design cable structures and PCBs such as the Power Distribution Board, while keeping safety and reliability in mind at all times. They also focus on communication between the exoskeleton's components, designing and building custom motor drivers that reliably transfer data and signals so all parts work in harmony.

Meet Software!

The Software department builds the "brain" of our exoskeleton. They design, implement, and test the Software that runs on the exoskeleton so that it executes the right walking patterns, reacts to sensor data to stay balanced, and responds to pilot input.

🧑‍💻 Our Lead Software, Mats, is one of the five software engineers. Along with contributing to the code and software architecture, he is also responsible for leading and guiding the department. He ensures smooth collaboration with the Control, Electronics, and Mechanical teams, and keeps the Chief Engineer updated on progress.

⚙️ Our Lead Control, Tian, oversees the control software and ensures seamless communication with High-Level Software, Electronics, Mechanical and the Chief Engineer. Furthermore, he also works on the control software alongside the control engineers.

💻 Our Software Engineers, Indy and Julian, work across the software, expanding and optimizing the system so that pilot input and sensor data are processed and distributed effectively throughout the exoskeleton. Together, they gather and analyze data from the exoskeleton, optimize the simulation, and monitor the exoskeleton during training by tracking live sensor data. They also develop and improve methods for self-balanced walking, ensuring the pilot walks comfortably, while contributing to broader developments that enhance the overall performance of the system.

Meet Mechanical!

The Mechanical department is responsible for designing and producing the physical parts of the exoskeleton. This includes the frame, joints, fixtures, backpack, and covers. This team consists of Mechanical Design Engineers and a Human Engineer, who together ensure strength, safety, and user-friendliness for our pilot. Each has their own responsibilities:

🔧 Our Lead Mechanical, Lee, is not only a skilled Mechanical Engineer but also the driving force behind the department. In addition to her design and production tasks, she is responsible for guiding and aligning the department, setting goals and communicating progress and challenges to the rest of Project MARCH.

🔩 The Mechanical Design Engineers, Koen, Lisa, Anvesha, Max and Sven, design and produce the frame and joints of the exoskeleton as well as the Input Device (IPD) that allows the pilot to control the exoskeleton and the exterior covers. In the Dream Hall workshop, they work hands-on and collaborate with partners to create a strong and safe foundation for our pilot, while ensuring the exoskeleton is both user-friendly and sleek in appearance, reflecting the cutting-edge technology it represents.

The Operations department (PUMP) is responsible for keeping our organisation running and presenting Project MARCH to the outside world. Though we each have our own focus, we work together closely when organising events and help each other whenever.

🤝 Partnerships Coordinator Lucas maintains strong relationships with our current partners and reaches out to new ones. He also drafts the agreements together with our engineers so that we have the right resources to build the exoskeleton.

🎥 Claire is our UX/UI Designer and turns complex technical ideas into visuals that everyone can understand. From making renders and videos for big events to designing user interfaces, the UX/UI Designer helps bring our vision to life.

💰You have already met Morris, the Operations Manager, as he is also part of the Management Team. He keeps the bigger picture in sight, coordinates external activities, and supports the team wherever needed. Most importantly, he ensures we stay on track.

📲 We are still searching for a Marketing Coordinator! As the creative mind behind our socials and promotion, you will make sure that the story of Project MARCH reaches a wide audience. Designing content, planning exposure and keeping our followers engaged are key parts of this role.

🎙️ And finally, we are on the lookout for a Public Relations Coordinator! This role is all about representing Project MARCH at events and in the media. You’ll organize activities such as the Design Presentation and Reveal, write press releases, and ensure our message is shared with the world.

Meet Management!

Our Management Team (MT) is made up of four dedicated individuals who ensure that Project MARCH stays on track✅

💙 Our Team Manager, Olivier, is responsible for the well-being of the team and supports every member in achieving their personal goals during the Project MARCH year. Additionally, he also serves as the external representative of Project MARCH.

⚙️ Joep is our Chief Engineer and therefore carries the final responsibility for the overall technical quality of the exoskeleton. He also facilitates collaboration between the various technical subteams to ensure everything comes together seamlessly.

📋 Aaron, our Project Manager, sets our deadlines and makes sure we stay on track. He works closely with the engineers to create short-term plans and prepares for what is ahead.

💰 Operations Manager Morris oversees our finances and plays a key role in strategic business decisions, ensuring the long-term sustainability of our foundation. Furthermore, he leads the Operations department.

We proudly present the design of the exoskeleton of Project MARCH XI!

With this exoskeleton, we will achieve our team goal: “Project MARCH XI will build an exoskeleton that enables the pilot to visit a museum by walking selfbalanced with hands-free control, allowing natural interaction with both the exhibits and loved ones, while requiring minimal assistance to put on and take off the exoskeleton by the end of July 2026.”

Over the coming months, we will focus on building, testing, and training, all leading up to a live demonstration this July 💙

Last week, Jan came to give us a Talk Like TED style masterclass to help us prepare for our design presentation!

He shared valuable insights on how to tell a strong story, keep your audience engaged, and clearly get your message across. Beyond the theory, we also practiced ourselves and received feedback we could immediately apply.

Super useful lessons that have already helped us improve and that we’ll definitely take with us towards our final reveal presentation!

Thanks, Jan, for the inspiring session! We learned a lot!
