Robotic Gait

The 7-miles is a concept of an active robotic orthosis designed to fit physically challenged and able folks. It supports a person right from their gluteus area to the femoral and calf muscles. The support does not restrict the range of motion and is very lightweight. Thanks to a flexible design it is possible to extend the height to fit a 150 – 200cm tall person. For the able-folks, it serves as a city personal commuting system.

Thanks to compact and powerful linear electro-motors, it allows user to travel over long distances naturally, quickly and with minimum effort.
