Our solution consists of wearable robotic devices controlled by Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMIs), with efficacy based on scientific studies. We focus on low-cost and high-tech wearable equipment to increase the access of people worldwide to advanced rehabilitation therapies, especially in low and middle-income countries. We have started working on this mission by developing two devices for upper and lower limbs, respectively: the HERO (Hand Exoskeleton for Rehabilitation Objectives) and the G-Exos (Gait exoskeleton). We propose that our technology generates better working conditions for health professionals and a reduction in public health costs.

01 INNOVATE MANUFACTURING
HERO is an exoskeleton built with innovative manufacturing technology that combines three-dimensional (3D) printing with textiles.
02 MODULAR SYSTEM
HERO can be controlled by BMIs such as electroencephalography (EEG) or by Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) such as electromyography (EMG).
03 CONTROL ACCURACY
Tests with healthy volunteers controlling the exoskeleton with EEG showed a control accuracy of up to 91.5% with naive subjects.
04 FLEXIBLE AND REDUCED WEIGHT
HERO weighs only 102 g over the hand, and 1.3 kg in the actuators, which can be placed on the healthy leg, shoulder, or in a backpack.
01 MIXES SYSTEM
The equipment features an active (motorized) system providing greater assistance in walking and a passive system, making use of the natural human biomechanics, generating a movement closer to the natural gait
02 FLEXIBLE AND REDUCED WEIGHT
Technology developed with light and flexible textile material, providing greater usability. Estimated set weight of 5kg
03 GEAR ASSISTANCE
Assistance in the performance of dorsiflexion, plantar flexion and ankle stability movements
04 GEAR PHASE DETECTION
HERO weighs only 102 g over the hand, and 1.3 kg in the actuators, which can be placed on the healthy leg, shoulder, or in a backpack.
