Berkley Bionics introduces the eLEGS

 eLEGS is a wearable, artificially intelligent, bionic device that enables people with paralysis

to stand up and walk again. The exoskeleton is battery-powered and rechargeable, fitting

comfortably and securely over your clothing. Initially, eLEGS will be used under medical supervision

for rehabilitation and training. Our mission is to provide you with unprecedented mobility. We want to

enhance your independence and freedom of movement.


 


How does eLEGS work?

eLEGS uses a gesture-based human-machine interface which — utilizing sensors — observes the

gestures you make to determine your intentions and then acts accordingly. In order for eLEGS to

operate naturally and respond to your input, a real-time computer draws on sensors and input devices

to orchestrate every aspect of a single stride.
