Robotic Exoskeleton (EXO) From: NASA Tech Briefs - 11/01/2015 This wearable device can assist walking for persons with paraplegia, and can be used in gait modification and rehabilitation. The Exoskeleton (EXO) is a device that falls into a new classification of robotics called wearable robots. On-orbit applications include countermeasures and dynamometry, allowing for continual assessment of a person’s muscle strength while aboard the International Space Station. Due to its small, compact size and relatively light weight (57 lb without batteries), EXO holds great promise as a countermeasure device for missions below low-Earth orbit.
