 ReWalk Exoskeleton I think this is a fantastic concept. ReWalk exoskeleton is working on a design that would enable paraplegics to not only walk but to stand and even climb the stairs. The concept is based on batteries and sensors and a computer-based control system. “The challenge here is to design something that imitates a human walking, including universal fit for a broad range of user height and weight measurements, as well as a low profile that is both contemporary and user friendly” says tuvie. ReWalk Exoskeleton is expected to go on sale by 2009.
 ReWalk Exoskeleton is a light, wearable brace support suit featuring DC motors at the joints, rechargeable batteries, an array of sensors, and a computer-based control system. Users wear a backpack device and braces on their legs, and select the activity they want from a remote control. A sensor on the chest determines the torso’s angle and guides the legs to move forward or backward to maintain balance. You can expect to see ReWalk Exoskeleton on sale in 2009.
