Rokids

Description

Rokids is a pediatric exoskeleton for walking assistance. It plays on Roki, the name of the powered gait-assist exoskeletons for adults and “kids.” This rehabilitation wearable robot is meant to allow children with little or no ability to generate force in their legs to get up and walk while supervised by an operator or a mobility aid such as a walker. The exo was explicitly designed for children with mild to moderate hemiplegia, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or leg muscle weakness in mind.
