CXD - Compact X-scissors Device for Exoskeletons
Researchers from Aalborg University have developed a new type of mechanical joint that can support shoulders and hips smarter than ever before. The joint which is compact enough to be worn hidden under clothing, has already won international honors and will likely be the standard in future wearable exoskeletons.
HIDS - Human Intention Detection Sensor
The invention is called the Human Intention Detection Sensor and was invented by Associate Professor Shaoping Bai and Scientific Assistant Muhammad Raza Ul Islam from Aalborg University (AAU). Using a bracelet with pressure sensing sensors (FSR: Force Sensing Resistor), which tightens the forearm, the system, based on muscle movements, can read how to move the arm, hand and fingers accurately and act accordingly.
