The Vanderbilt exoskeleton, marketed as Indego, [1] [2] is a powered exoskeleton designed by the Center for Intelligent Mechatronics at Vanderbilt University in the U.S. state of Tennessee. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is intended to assist paraplegics , stroke victims and other paralyzed or semi-paralyzed people to walk independently. [ 5 ]
ReWalk is a commercial bionic walking assistance system that uses powered leg attachments to enable paraplegics to stand upright, walk and climb stairs. [1] [2] The system is powered by a backpack battery, and is controlled by a simple wrist-mounted remote which detects and enhances the user's movements. [3]
The powered exoskeleton, named WalkON Suit F1, weighs 50 kg (110 lb) and is powered by 12 electronic motors that simulate the movements of human joints while walking. New ‘iron man’ suit ...
Walk Again Project is an international, non-profit consortium led by Miguel Nicolelis, created in 2009 in a partnership between Duke University and the IINN/ELS, where researchers come together to find neuro-rehabilitation treatments for spinal cord injuries, [1] [2] [3] which pioneered the development and use of the brain–machine interface, including its non-invasive version, [4] with an EEG.
As a result, his legs and the battery-operated exoskeleton now work in tandem to give him a more natural gait. Robotic exoskeleton and zaps of electricity helped man walk again

As of 2008, only one exoskeleton (as opposed to active orthosis) had been found to actually reduce the metabolic cost of walking while carrying a load. [ 1 ] [ 9 ] Very little research on exoskeleton metabolic cost is done, but one study done by the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Center found that the exoskeleton they used actually increased the ...
An exhibit of the "Future Soldier" designed by the United States ArmyA powered exoskeleton is a mobile machine wearable over all or part of the human body, providing ergonomic structural support, and powered by a system of electric motors, pneumatics, levers, hydraulics or a combination of cybernetic technologies, allowing for sufficient limb movement, and providing increased strength ...
