Assistive Exoskeleton for Paralyzed People

Abstract

This project represents the design of an exoskeleton robotic technology to assist the paralyzed people to move on their own, by supporting them physically and move their leg independently like a human leg. The working prototype has been designed of two features, one is support and the second one is motion with the help of Arduino based micro-controller support. In support part the robot is holding the whole physique of the paralyzed person and keep the person stand with support. The motion part is taking decision whether to sit down, stand up and walk based on the manual switch that will give command to the microcontroller which assess the command, and move the exoskeleton based on it. The prototype is developed with the intention to help the paralyzed people for helping them walk and remove them from the entitlement of disability.
