Researchers from Canterbury Christ Church University has presented the UK's first lower limb Exoskeleton aimed at helping children with neurological disorders at London Tech Week 2023. The academics were part of a three-year EU Interreg 2 Seas (European Regional Development Fund) project called MOTION . It included researchers from across four countries with the aim to develop Assistive Robotic Technology in the form of a wearable, lower limb exoskeleton to help children with cerebral palsy and other neurological conditions stand and walk as part of their rehabilitation therapy. Professor Konstantinos Sirlantzis who leads the Artificial Intelligence and Assistive Robotics research team at the University, said: "We’re delighted to be able to have this opportunity to demonstrate the innovative design and AI-based personalised predictive control for the Exoskeleton, which was developed specifically with the consideration of the physicality and movement of children with cerebra...
