ArmAssist ExoSkeleton Proof of Concept


Product Name: ArmAssist ExoSkeleton (AAE)

Product Concept:
ArmAssist ExoSkeleton is a highly innovative exoskeleton device designed to provide power support and motion assistance to users who need arm assistance. The product is designed to help patients with muscle weakness, movement disorders or workers who perform repetitive tasks relieve fatigue and enhance arm strength and endurance. AAE covers the user’s entire arm, from shoulder to arm, including elbow and wrist, and provides the necessary mechanical force support by sensing the user’s muscle dynamics.

Product Features:

  1. Lightweight design: The use of advanced lightweight materials enables users to wear AAE for a long time without feeling heavy.
  2. Intelligent sensing technology: The integrated sensors can accurately detect user intentions and muscle activity, thereby providing timely auxiliary force.
  3. Adjustment mechanism: Adjustable motor and drive system to ensure adaptation to different user needs and range of motion.
  4. User interface: The intuitive control panel allows users to easily set support levels and activity parameters.
  5. Safety features: Built-in safety mechanisms such as emergency stop buttons and pressure limits ensure safety when using AAE.

Concept Proof:
After completing the product concept design, the concept proof will be carried out through the following steps:

Step 1 – Demand Analysis:
First, discuss with potential user groups (medical rehabilitation personnel, industrial workers, etc.) to understand their specific needs for exoskeleton devices.

Step 2 – Functional Prototyping:
Based on the results of the demand analysis, develop a functional prototype of AAE, integrating the basic exoskeleton frame, drive system and sensor technology.

Step 3 – Small-scale internal testing:
Conduct the first round of testing with users within the company to evaluate and adjust to ensure the basic functions of the device and the initial user experience.

Step 4 – Laboratory Testing:
Test in a more rigorous laboratory environment to evaluate the performance and durability of AAE under different conditions and continuous use.

Step 5 – User and Expert Feedback:
Provide the prototype to potential users and industry experts to collect detailed feedback and understand the advantages and disadvantages of the exoskeleton-assisted device in use.

Step 6 – Data Analysis and Optimization:
Analyze all the data collected during the test in detail, and make necessary technical optimization and design iterations of the product based on the feedback.

Step 7 – Field Trial:
Conduct field trials under real-world conditions, such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and factories, to verify the product’s effectiveness and user acceptance in actual environments.

Combining the feedback and data from the above steps, the software development company can not only verify the functionality and feasibility of AAE, but also clarify its market potential and direction for improvement. This verification process is expected to promote the development of exoskeleton assistance technology and help end users improve work efficiency and quality of life.
