ANYexo 2.0: A Fully-Actuated Upper-Limb Exoskeleton for Versatile Robot-Assisted Neurotherapy

The ANYexo 2.0 is our latest prototype based on around two decades of research at the Sensory-Motor Systems Lab and Robotic Systems Lab of ETH Zürich.
This video shows uncommented impressions of the main features of ANYexo 2.0 and its performance in range of motion, speed, strength, haptic transparency, and human-robot attachment system.
This video is part of an article accepted for publication in IEEE Transactions on Robotics. You can find an open-access preprint under: www.research-c...
Abstract: "We developed an exoskeleton for neurorehabilitation that covered all relevant degrees of freedom of the human arm while providing enough range of motion, speed, strength, and haptic-rendering function for therapy of severely affected (e.g., mobilization) and mildly affected patients (e.g., strength and speed). The ANYexo 2.0, uniting these capabilities, could be the vanguard for highly versatile therapeutic robotics applicable to a broad target group and an extensive range of exercises. Thus, supporting the practical adoption of these devices in clinics.
The unique kinematic structure of the robot and the bio-inspired controlled shoulder coupling allowed training for most activities of daily living. We demonstrated this capability with 15 sample activities, including interaction with real objects and the own body with the robot in transparent mode. The robot’s joints can reach 200%, 398%, and 354% of the speed required during activities of daily living at the shoulder, elbow, and wrist, respectively. Further, the robot can provide isometric strength training. We present a detailed analysis of the kinematic properties and propose algorithms for intuitive control implementation."

What are the acceleration and static force specs? Can it punch through a type3 xenomorph queen? Is the coating organic acid resistant? Do you plan to rlelease one in dark/yellow stripes livery? Asking for a mining corporation.

Well done !

As an extension, will it be possible to use this exoskeleton to render haptic feedback in VR applications?

Amazing, what is whis for? I read tha abstract, for clinics.
