The Dutch robotics project "Mobile Arm Support" was aimed at helping people with limited arm and shoulder strength to regain more arm and shoulder functionality. The result was an adjustable robotics device that may help regaining some strength.
The Robotics project Evryon aims to design wearable robotic suits (exoskeletons) to help the elderly in restoring mobility and strength for those who lack them. These suits will be power efficient and lightweight and will be tested on elderly people to…
The Dutch Robotics project IROMEC was created with the goal of functioning as a social mediator to cover all the areas that children with disabilities do normally not have access to. This will help them have new opportunities, prevent isolation and let…
The KSERA robotics project, is a research project about service robots for the elderly. The main goal of this project is to develop a Socially Assistive Robot that can help the elderly in their daily lives, especially people with Chronic Obstructive…
The Dutch Robotics project LOPES was designed to help people who have had a stroke regain leg function and learn to walk again. The person walks on a treadmill the robot is attached to. Although there are still bugs to be worked out, LOPES has provided…
The McArm is a Dutch Robotics project that aims aims to develop a smart dynamic arm support system to provide extra support for people without all their strength and motor functions, such as in people who have had a stroke. The McArm is a smart system…
Dutch robotics project Active Therapeutic Devices (ATD) is developing robotic devices to help people with the rehabilitation of the upper extremities without the help of a therapist, easing the burden on health care and improving the motivation of patients.
The Dutch Robotics project Mindwalker is a wearable robot "suit" designed to help disabled people walk again. Using Brain-Computer Interface technology, the exoskeleton will support the patient and trigger correct brain control signals. The end product…
The NeuroSIPE program is a cooperative program among Dutch Universities and medical centers. Their goal is to develop new tools for neurological disorders, using closed-loop system identification techniques. By addressing the CNS as a closed-loop system,…
Paro is Dutch Robotics project designed to improve the mental and physical well-being of people with dementia. Paro was developed to reduce patient stress and increase patient interaction among themselves, and to reduce the strain on health care systems.…
ROBAR is a Dutch Robotics project designed to help patients who suffered a stroke with arm rehabilitation. Robot arm support can automate treatment, allowing patients to work on their own rehabilitation. The systems have been installed in 7 different…
VirtuRob is a Dutch Robotics project to help alleviate the costs of health care by offering arm and hand therapy at home with robotic devices. Training at home gives patients more freedom and encourages them to keep pushing the limits. The devices reduce…
The Roessingh Rehabilitation Centre developed the Wii project to study children with Cerebral Palsy. By evaluating the effect these virtual games have on child rehabilitation for this condition, they can determine if might be a good way to keep them interested…
The Dutch robotics WikiTherapist project intends to develop software for therapists to develop and run their own easy-to-use programs for their patients. The therapist simply indicates what he/she hopes to achieve and the software does the rest.
