Interactive exoskeleton robotic knee system

This is a robotic knee brace designed to help people walk or train their gait. It uses a frame that attaches to the thigh and shin, along with motion sensors on the leg and a force sensor specifically placed in a shoe or foot piece. An electric motor and a mechanical lock, both aligned with the knee joint, provide controlled movement and support based on the sensor data.

Why it matters: Since 2015, miniaturized and more accurate wearable sensors, particularly for plantar pressure, have become widely available and affordable. Advances in embedded processing and real-time control algorithms also simplify the complex coordination needed for gait assistance.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom mechanical frame, sensor integration, real-time motor control.
