The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Taiwan’s largest high-tech applied research institutions, will be unveiling new innovations at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, US from January 7 to 10, 2025.
ITRI’s CES 2025 highlight technologies include KneeBO, a portable knee-joint exoskeleton designed for lower-limb muscle training and walking improvement.
KneeBO is a portable knee joint exoskeleton that provides strength support for individuals with knee joint degradation. With a lightweight design of 1.5kg and quick-release buttons, users can put it on within one minute, making it suitable for daily activities. KneeBO employs compliant control algorithms and an inertial measurement unit for automatic function switching and smooth movement tracking. It serves as an assistive mobility technology for gait training.
HipBO is an independent lightweight hip joint function assistance device derived from lower-limb exoskeleton robots. The lightweight design is convenient for daily use to assist people with hip joint functional impairment. It weighs less than 3kg uses a compliant control algorithm for power assistance and smooth movements. HipBO provides walking action reminders and guidance and can be used for gait training and leisure sports such as hiking and walking.
