Abstract

In the Symbitron Project, one of the main objectives is to develop a safe, bio-inspired, and personalized wearable exoskeleton that enables individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) to walk without additional assistance, by complementing their remaining motor function. The first target group of five subjects, have enough hip control to keep themselves upright, but need support around the ankle and/or knee joint. This paper gives an overview of the design features of the newly developed exoskeleton and shares some details about the design process.
