Hyundai Wearable Robotics for Walking Assistance

Technology Category	Analytics & Modeling - Real Time Analytics Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Wearables - Exoskeletons
Applicable Industries	Automotive
Applicable Functions	Product Research & Development
Challenge	The Central Advanced Research and Engineering Institute at Hyundai Motor Company develops future mobility technologies. Rather than provide conventional vehicle products to customers, this research center creates new mobility devices with a wide range of speeds for a variety of people, including the elderly and the disabled. As our society ages, there is a greater need for systems that can aid mobility. Thus, we are developing wearable exoskeleton robots with NI embedded controllers for the elderly and patients with spinal cord injuries to use. Key Challenge Developing a system that can handle complex control algorithms to capture data remotely from various sensors simultaneously and perform real-time control of multiple actuators for a wearable robotics device for walking assistance.
