The KneeBO by the Industrial Technology Research Institute is an advanced knee joint exoskeleton aimed at enhancing mobility and providing support for individuals with knee joint degeneration. Weighing just 1.5 kilograms, the device's use of nylon and plastic materials ensures that the design is lightweight, which sets it apart from traditional exoskeletons.
The KneeBO offers a seamless way to improve gait and engage in lower-limb muscle training without excessive fatigue. Its portability makes it an ideal tool for everyday use, as well. Equipped with compliant control algorithms and an inertial measurement unit, the advanced knee joint exoskeleton delivers fluid motion tracking and automatic function adjustments tailored to the user’s activity. Real-time feedback further refines its functionality, enabling precise strength support customized to the user’s injury or rehabilitation needs.
