Summary:
Motivated by the increasing need of technological aids for supporting elderly people affected by gait syndromes, the objective of IUVO is the design, development and experimental validation of a cognitive wearable robot for functional assistance of lower-limb motion. IUVO will be a bilateral robot orthosis capable of assisting the locomotion of elderly people affected by gait syndromes.
What we do:
SSSA is the scientific coordinator and responsible partner for developing and integrating advanced orthosis-like wearable robots for human motor assistance, as well as developing human-robot bidirectional interfaces
