Exoskeletal Rehabilitation Systems
Medical devices aimed at assisting patients in recovering motor functions after trauma or illness. Includes gait training and limb mobility restoration.
Upper Limb Exoskeleton
Device designed to assist or augment the strength and dexterity of the arms. Applications include manufacturing assistance and physical rehabilitation.
Powered Arm Prosthesis
Motorized artificial arms that mimic the functionality of a natural limb. Applications include advanced myoelectric prostheses for amputees with enhanced grip and motion features.
Augmented Reality (AR) in Exoskeletons
Integrating AR to provide wearers with interactive, digital information overlays. Applications in training, navigation, and on-site data retrieval in various industries.
Hearing Augmentation Devices
Devices that improve auditory perception, including cochlear implants and bone conduction headphones. Applications help individuals with hearing impairments and in noisy environments.
Powered Exoskeleton
Motorized framework that provides strength and endurance to the wearer. Applications include military, medical rehabilitation, and heavy lifting.
Speech Augmentation Devices
Technologies that enhance or restore the ability to speak, including voice amplifiers and speech-generating devices. Applications help those with speech impairments or in environments where vocal communication is challenging.
Vision Augmentation Systems
Technologies that enhance or supplement human sight, such as head-up displays (HUDs) or augmented reality glasses. Applications impact fields like surgery, navigation, and design.
Neural Augmentation Interfaces
Advanced systems interfacing with the nervous system to restore or enhance neurological functions. Applications include controlling prosthetics with brain signals and treating neurological disorders.
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI)
A direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device, often utilized for augmented control. Applications include controlling prosthetics, computers, and other devices by thought.
Lower Limb Exoskeleton
Apparatus focused on enhancing the movement and support of the legs. Applications range from aiding those with mobility impairments to enabling heavy load carrying.
Full-Body Exoskeleton
An integrated system designed to augment the entire body’s strength and stamina. Applications include specialized military suits and full-body rehabilitation therapies.
Passive Exoskeleton
Non-powered support structure that reduces strain on the wearer's body. Applications include ergonomic support for workers and load distribution enhancement.
Haptic Feedback Gloves
Wearable gloves that provide tactile feedback, simulating the sense of touch. Applications include virtual reality training and remote operations involving fine manipulation.
Soft Exoskeleton (Exosuit)
A light, flexible exoskeleton that uses textiles for support. Applications include ergonomic workplace wear and assistive walking devices for the elderly.
Prosthetic Limbs
Artificial devices that replace missing limbs, which can be either purely cosmetic or fully functional. Application areas include assisting amputees and enhancing functionality with advanced technology.
Exoskeleton for Child Growth Accommodation
Adjustable exoskeleton designs that grow with the child, typically used for managing skeletal conditions. Applications involve supporting children with disabilities and enabling mobility.
Tactical Exoskeleton
Military-grade exoskeleton designed for combat scenarios, improving soldier performance and carrying capacity. Applications include reducing fatigue and improving effectiveness in the field.
