HERO | Human Exoskeleton Robotic Operator.
Comfortable, safe, and minimally disruptive to the environment.
Hero is wearable robot powered by a combination of technologies that allow for limb movement with increased strength and endurance, both concentric and eccentric to be performed with a small and portable device. Comfortable, safe, and minimally disruptive, Hero allows for resistances (torque) and automated movements to be adjusted in real-time, and also allows for the application of isokinetic, isotonic, and isometric muscle strength assessments.
APPLICATIONS
INDUSTRY
Hero can be used in the industry in logistics, as well as assisting manual lifting tasks, reducing worker injury (especially in the shoulders and spine) and reducing errors due to fatigue. Hero empowers biomechanics researchers, robot designers, materials scientists and neuroscientists to develop applications, build & test algorithms.
MEDICAL
Hero provides significantly increased real-time feedback to close the exercise prescription loop with physicians. Hero can improve the quality of life of individuals who have lost the use of their legs by enabling system-assisted walking; It can also help with the rehabilitation from stroke, spinal cord injury or during aging, and to help nurses move and carry heavy patients.
