Mobility

About this project

The MedEngeneering team from Karaganda, Kazakhstan developed the lower extremity exoskeleton for Dastan so that he can walk. The impulse from the muscles enters the microprocessor, which works according to the written code - and certain actions can be performed. It weights 15 kg which makes it easy to wear independently by person.

The challenge
