Enhancing human capabilities Sample Clauses

Enhancing human capabilities. This class of wearable robots is designed to allow the wearer to bear heavy loads, to increase their speed, their strength and their endurance while guaranteeing minimal interaction between the robot and the wearer. Generally, exoskeleton could be used to: ▪ Augment human capabilities ▪ Assist people with physical limitation during movement ▪ Replace motion function ▪ Motion Rehabilitation Belong to the first category listed all technological solution which enhance human strength such as exoskeleton for military purpose. If the user has a spinal injury or other chronic illnesses the exoskeleton could help to replace the lost function or assist elderly persons with physical limitation during any kind of movement. Moreover, recent studies (▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇.▇. ▇▇ al., 2011) have shown that to overcome the inefficiency of conventional rehabilitation therapy robotic solution should be used. In fact robotic repetitive movement training represent a more efficient treatment. Further, applied strategies manly could be distinguished to promote effort and self initiatives movement. The aim of assisted-as-need rehabilitation therapy is to either assist and correct when necessary the motions of the user and provide only as much assistance as necessary. However robotic rehabilitation has the potentiality to go beyond the capabilities of “human” therapist in terms of speed, sensing, strength, repeatability and quantification of exercise’s results and progress. As concern prosthesis technology used will involve RFID, sensor with wireless transducer for the communication with remote controller and neural control. The development of smart sensor for prosthesis is strict correlated to silicon development. By 2020 sensors will include programmable digital-signal processing algorithms and filters for the autonomous extraction of its features. The reduction of wired buses will increase the robustness and the portability of this device. On the other side low power consumption electronic and transmission component will be developed. To make smart mechatronic prosthesis’ actuation more physiological and realistic, new smart actuator will be engineering, in order to fit a high number of actuator whit high efficiency and low power consumption inside the prosthesis.
