The power of technology is truly remarkable! The WalkON Suit F1, a powered exoskeleton, is designed to walk and balance independently, granting increased mobility and autonomy for those with disabilities. It allows users to transfer directly from their wheelchair into the suit, ensuring ease of use for individuals with limited mobility. Developed by the KAIST Exoskeleton Laboratory in partnership with Angel Robotics, this groundbreaking suit empowers individuals with complete paralysis to regain their independence and participate in activities that once seemed impossible. It’s inspiring to see how advancements like this are paving the way for a future filled with opportunities we once believed were beyond reach. l love it!! #TechForGood #AssistiveTechnology #ExoskeletonInnovation #AccessibilityMatters #EmpoweringIndependence #FutureOfMobility #DisabilityInclusion #InnovationForAll #KAISTExoskeleton #AngelRobotics #RedefiningPossibilities #InclusionThroughInnovation #MobilityRevolution #TechWithPurpose #LimitlessFuture

That might be a first: a walking exoskeleton! KAIST Exoskeleton Laboratory and Angel Robotics came up with the WalkON Suit F1. It is a powered exoskeleton designed to walk on its own(!) and balance independently, allowing users to easily transfer into the suit from a wheelchair. Offering independence for those with disabilities would be a game changer in their lives. The prototype took part in the Cybathlon competition I shared an exclusive interview about recently. I couldn't find anything about the cost. I assume it's still far from commercial use.

Tom Cruise’s ‘Edge of Tomorrow’-like exoskeleton tested in real-world situation. A robotics team at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC) in Florida has completed real-world tests of its exoskeleton suit that resembles the ones seen in the famous Tom Cruise movie ‘Edge of Tomorrow’. IHMC has over a decade of expertise in mobility-restoring exoskeletons, demonstrated in the CYBATHLON competitions.

This reminds us of the transformative power of biomedical engineering. Breakthroughs like this show how science and compassion go hand in hand. Let’s continue to support advancements in rehabilitation technology!

This exoskeleton could one day help children with neurological damage to walk again. Cosmo Robotics hopes to provide better health benefits and emotional benefits to their clients, so they no longer need to be restricted to a wheelchair. #CES #CES2025 #ExoskeletonTech #NeuroRehabilitation #MobilityInnovation

Wow art instalation is full of meaning.

Another reason I spend over 30 years in robotics.... ✴️ Trexo Robotics has helped children with disabilities take over 100 million steps using their innovative robotic brace. 🔣 Highlights: ☑️ Customizable robotic brace assists children with various conditions including cerebral palsy, spinal muscular atrophy ☑️ Offers endurance and strength training modes ☑️ Adjustable for gait pattern, speed, weight bearing, and support level ⚕️ Many of these kids were told they would never take a step. Every single step tells a story of courage, progress, and hope. 🔀 Why it Matters: ✅ Enables mobility for children previously unable to walk ✅ Tailored approach to each child's unique needs ✅  Improves strength, endurance, and proper gait patterns ✅ Provides hope and independence for children and families ⏭️ Future Trexo aims to reach 500 million steps—equivalent to walking to the moon! #MedicalRobotics #RoboticsInHealthcare #RoboticMobility https://lnkd.in/eEgt9AEe

🚀 Excited to announce the successful completion of our Eye-Gaze Controlled Wheelchair project as part of EECE 5552: Assistive Robotics course🎉 This groundbreaking solution empowers ALS patients by enabling wheelchair navigation through eye movements. Leveraging a monocular camera, Dlib, and OpenCV, we developed a system that tracks gaze direction and translates it into precise motion commands. The bot replicates an eye-controlled wheelchair, blending affordability with user-friendliness. This achievement was made possible through the incredible collaboration with my talented teammates Mayur Bhanushali, Abhinav Vaddiraju, ARYAN GORASIYA, Shrieenithy Srinivasan, and under the guidance of Prof. Bazzi Salah. Their efforts and teamwork were instrumental in bringing this project to life. 💡 This project represents a significant step forward in assistive robotics, making innovative technology more accessible to those who need it most.
