Robot model
Cyberdyne HAL
Powered (motor-driven) exoskeleton whose distinguishing feature is bioelectric-signal control: skin-surface sensors detect the faint nerve/muscle signals of intended movement and drive the actuators in sync. Medical lower-limb version FDA cleared 2017; clinical use in Japan since 2008.
