ExoLite

The ExoLite by ExoMed is a large, powered self-balancing exoskeleton for walking assistance. The ExoLite is not a light wearable robot, but it is one of the few walking assistance devices that can be operated without crutches or other balancing aids.

Description

The ExoLite appears to lean more heavily towards the research side than a device ready for mass production. However, there are few lower-body rehabilitation robots that are capable of balancing on their own. These devices are rare, as they require more motors and multiple planes of motion. Therefore the efforts by ExoMed should be highlighted.

Design notes by the producer:

  • Self-supporting
  • Can be used with users up to 90kg in weight (198 lb)
  • An in-house developed motion control system
  • Capable of standing up and sitting down, move forward and backward, turn, and handle ramps
  • Controlled with a joystick pad
  • Lithium polymer battery

The ExoLite is being developed as a rehabilitation tool for people with lower-body paralysis.
