Developers of the NTI Competence Center in the direction of “Technologies of components of robotics and mechatronics”
A new system is being created to work:
- in production,
- for carrying heavy loads,
- for functional rehabilitation of limbs after a stroke.
Such developments will become assistants to workers inindustry, logistics, transportation, agriculture. This is now in demand because the attractiveness of physical labor is falling and the requirements for the quality and quantity of products are increasing. Another significant population is older adults and people with mobility impairments who need assistance with activities of daily living such as eating, climbing stairs, carrying objects, and mobility. A long-term solution to this problem will be the use of wearable robotic systems that can respond to human commands and help him in solving necessary tasks.
Igor Gaponov, head of the Laboratory of Mechatronics, Control and Prototyping.
As told at Innopolis University, theywill be the first in the world to receive the results of a study of human neuromuscular activity during interaction with devices based on thread twisting drives: based on these data, the development will be optimized.
The authors hope that their work will have a direct impact on the development of the fields of assistive and rehabilitation robotics, as well as human-machine interaction.
