MIPT student Herman Karnup has developed an AI-controlled arm exoskeleton designed for stroke rehabilitation. The device is made entirely from domestic components, making it independent of imports.
The exoskeleton does not restrict the patient’s movements, allowing for swings and rotations of the arm along any trajectory. A significant advantage is the possibility of undergoing rehabilitation without the constant presence of doctors and assistants.
Control of the device is done using AI, enabling the creation of a personalized prototype exoskeleton for each individual. This speeds up the recovery process by providing fast and accurate prediction of the bio-potential of key muscles, taking into account individual physical characteristics, explained Karnup.
His project won the UMNIK competition and received a grant of 500,000 rubles. The next step is to find a platform for the pilot sample and start production.
