The Problem
-
Bulky
-
Stationary
-
Zero feedback
-
Long process
-
Insufficient data
-
Causes discomfort
-
Hardcoded
The objective was to make a PORTABLE exoskeleton which can INTERACT with the environment and REPROGRAM itself to help cure upper limb paralysis by sending POSITIVE FEEDBACK to the human brain.
Ideation
Implementation
An arm brace was designed to get a basic idea of an Exoskeleton.
