Robotic suit

| Redactie

The MIRA Research Institute and TU Delft are working together on the development of a new robotic suit to help people, who are confined to a wheelchair after having suffered from a spinal cord injury or a cerebral hemorrhage, learn to walk again. When a patient thinks about walking, a stylish helmet picks up the brain signals and relays them to robotic legs, allowing for the patient to take steps and move. The new system known as Mindwalker can benefit thousands of people. Researchers hope to have a prototype of the suit ready in three years.
