HAL robotic suit can help people with disabilities and older people move

This news may be interesting for those interested in robotic suits. A new robotic suit, reading the signals of the brain of people, is designed to help the disabled, the disabled and the elderly to move. The device is called HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb). This is a computerized suit that has sensors that read brain signals and guide the movement of human limbs through the skin.



The sensors command the braces that are attached to the hips and knees and provide automated assistance when walking. This costume is powered by a 10 kg battery that is worn like a belt around the waist. The Japanese company Cyberdyne will produce these suits and can cost $ 1,500 as a monthly rent. It is still unknown when, how and at what cost HAL will go on sale.



This device can help the disabled, the elderly and others who find it difficult to move without help. The technology mentioned in the article has come a long way and may be of great importance for medicine in the future.
