The Engineering Design and Technological Development Group (DIDET), from the University of Alicante ArtefactosLAB, has once again taken a step forward in terms of social innovation with the design of a new handheld robotic exoskeleton. Named [flick], this robotic exoskeleton improves the lives of people with limited or no ability to move due to neurological and/or physiological disorders.
This is a portable, economical, and user-adaptable 3D printed exoskeleton aimed at helping those people who have low or no muscle tone due to neurological disorders, chronic pathologies, or any type of accident that has left their hands without mobility, as explained by UA researcher and engineer Javier Esclapés. The device, already patented and inspired by artificial intelligence, is made of a flexible, breathable and liquid-resistant material, and designed under parameters of economic, environmental and social sustainability.
