ROBOTIC SUIT TO HELP AGED AND DISABLED TO WALK AGAIN



A Robotic suit has been developed in Japan which will help aged and disabled people to walk freely on there foot again, these robotic legs are called HAL(hybrid assistive limbs), these pair of legs can easily be appended to the legs of the disabled or aged person which will help them to walk like a normal person.
These artificial limbs have been developed by Japanese robot maker Cyberdene which in the past has also developed robotic arms, these artificial limbs are surely a boon for the disabled and aged people who find difficulty in walking, 10 Japanese hospitals have already started using these robotic limbs in order to help in rehabilitation of patients who are disabled and have problems in walking.
The suit works with sensors which detect muscle impulses and weak electric bio-signals produced by patients brains, after that it determines which muscles need to be moved and uses small power units to help assist movement, on the other hand Cyberdene also plans to sell these suits to Europe soon.
