This project is a design that can be very helpful for disabled people. The design aims to be used as a walking support device focused on patients with disorders in motion who suffer of partial lower body paralysis due to spine injuries or caused by a stroke. It will extend the strength of the human legs beyond its natural ability while maintaining human control of the robot.
The idea of our design is to create an exoskeleton system that is able to understand the movement of the disabled person and physically support him to stand and walk. Our system will have motorized legs so we have an artificial hip and knee joint which is motorized with an ankle joints and is adaptable according to the desired movement and will have sensors in the device to detect the current position of the user and also to detect the joints in relation to each other. It will be designed such
that the devices worn by an operator fit closely to the body anatomy and work in coordination with the movements of the user
These prosthetics are no match for human body parts, as we faced problems in lifting weight >2Kg and even to bring it to this limit, it took us rattling our heads for hours.
