Self-Powered Ankle Exoskeleton (SPAE)

Self-Powered Ankle Exoskeleton (SPAE) is a state-of-the-art solution for individuals who are at risk of falling due to muscle weakness, sensory-motor deficits, and gait impairments.

It offers active assistance to the ankle joint without relying on external power sources, making it a cost-effective solution. Additionally, its game-changing energy harvester feature can generates electricity during walking, promoting the use of renewable and emission-free technologies. With falls estimated to cost Australia $3.9 billion by 2050, SPAE presents a valuable impact. It represents a transition from electricity-driven to smart passive exoskeletons, offering a unique solution that benefits both health and the environment.
