The Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) has created a hand exoskeleton with artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. The device is designed for rehabilitation of patients after a stroke, the university's press service reported.
The device, assembled entirely from Russian components, is controlled by a neural network. This approach takes into account the individual characteristics of the patient.
The development allows restoring motor functions of the upper limbs. The exoskeleton does not restrict the patient's movement - it is possible to make rotations and waves with the hand.
This allows accelerating recovery, quickly and accurately predicting the biopotential of key muscles, taking into account the individual physical characteristics of the user.
With this project, Karnup won the UMNIK competition (a support program for talented youth) and received a grant of 500 thousand rubles. He is currently looking for a convenient platform for testing the exoskeleton, and plans to establish production in the future.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that individual exoskeletons for rehabilitation medicine were created in Kursk.
