“Enduring, not ultimate form”: from “Industrieform” to Red Dot (1980 - 1997)
Dog Reh-Assist
Designed for paralysed dogs, this exoskeleton aids in rehabilitation and mobility. Dog owners only have to select training modes via an app and enable the exoskeleton to assist hind limb movements. Forelimb EMG signals predict hind limb gait for stable walking with a removable brace. Real-time health data feedback provides personalised rehabilitation plans, enhancing recovery effectiveness and improving overall mobility.
