TECHNOLOGY

An exoskeleton designed to follow human movement

Motors at the hip and knee joints assist walking, reducing muscular effort and supporting the body through movement transitions — sitting, standing, and climbing.

What the exoskeleton helps with

Action Without assistance With ExoMobilidade
Walking long distances Higher muscular effort Partial movement support
Climbing slopes and ramps Pronounced fatigue Knee torque assistance
Maintaining upright posture Postural compensation Additional structural support
Sit-to-stand transitions Effort peak Help initiating movement

The values above describe the intended behaviour of the equipment and still depend on independent technical validation in Brazil.

POSITIONING

A new generation of wearable technologies.

Powered exoskeletons combine adjustable structures, sensors, actuators and control systems to follow certain movement patterns. ExoMobilidade works to evaluate these technologies with technical, regulatory and institutional responsibility before their introduction to the Brazilian market.

Assistive mobility

Wearable structures that may provide mechanical support during gait, depending on the use profile and professional assessment.

Rehabilitation and research

Potential use in controlled settings, supervised by clinical teams and governed by each institution's own research protocols.

Human performance

Applications in training, trails, occupational ergonomics and reduction of perceived effort during long-duration activities.

THE PRODUCT IN MOTION

Wearable technology demonstrated in real use.

An exoskeleton only makes sense in motion. Below, different use contexts show how the structure follows the body, where the actuators sit, and how the equipment is put on and adjusted.

HOW IT WORKS

Four stages between intent and movement.

The cycle below describes, in general terms, how wearable assistance systems typically operate. Specific parameters vary by manufacturer, model and configuration.

  1. 01

    Detect

    Sensors identify the user's movement, posture and intent.

  2. 02

    Interpret

    The system processes signals and determines the appropriate level of assistance.

  3. 03

    Assist

    Actuators provide mechanical support during certain movements.

  4. 04

    Adapt

    The system can adjust assistance according to usage pattern and environment.

We do not publish figures for precision, speed, battery life or performance without a verifiable public source from the manufacturer.

USE PROFILES

One platform for different needs.

Different contexts impose different requirements. The table below organises the use profiles under evaluation, with their respective demands and known limitations.

Everyday use

Use profile

People with preserved mobility seeking to reduce effort during travel and long-duration activities.

Potential application

Urban walking, stair climbing, extended time on foot, active ageing.

Requirements

Individual fitting, usage training, predictable surfaces, initial supervision.

Limitations

Does not replace professional assessment. Weight, battery life and comfort vary by model and user.

Validation needs

Usability testing, body-type suitability and safety verification for home use.

Assessment setting: a professional with a tablet observes the gait of an exoskeleton user, with cameras and a motion capture display.

Research and rehabilitation

Universities, biomechanics laboratories and rehabilitation centres with dedicated technical teams.

Potential application

Gait studies, institutional research protocols, effort and ergonomics analysis.

Requirements

Controlled environment, protocol approved by the institution's ethics committee, trained staff.

Trail, mountaineering, cycling and fitness practitioners; occupational teams.

Potential application

Trails with elevation gain, long crossings, backpack loads, reduced perceived effort.

Requirements

Dust and moisture resistance suited to the environment, energy planning, contingency plan.

Limitations

Uneven terrain, water and extreme temperature impose restrictions. Check the manufacturer's limits.

Validation needs

Controlled field trial, risk assessment and verification against official manufacturer specifications.

OPPORTUNITY

Brazil is ready to explore a new mobility category.

Brazil brings together a large hospital network, rehabilitation centres, universities, healthcare professionals, companies and consumers interested in innovation. Introducing exoskeletons, however, requires local support, training, regulatory analysis, maintenance and structured pilot projects.
