The main objective was to design an exoskeleton that meets the minimum requirements necessary to be used in rehabilitation therapies for lower limbs, intended for patients with motor disabilities, with the purpose of assisting them in their recovery.

In the development from 2016 to 2017, we had the support of Dr. Chiharu Ishii, professor at Hosei University.
