Wearable Soft Robotics Myo-Processor

Rehabilitation Robotics

A soft, wearable robotic shoulder support that reads muscle or brain signals to assist movement-making it easier, reducing fatigue, and helping prevent injury.

Institute:
IIT Delhi

PI Name:
Prof. Sitikantha Roy

Technology Readiness Level (TRL)
3-4

Problem
Addressed

The project tackles the challenge of preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), especially shoulder instability during overhead tasks, by developing wearable robotic systems that estimate joint torque using biological signals like EEG and EMG

About the
Technology

This wearable soft robotic myo-processor estimates joint torque through EMG/EEG signals. It combines a tunable bistable actuator with soft exosuit components and custom algorithms to assist shoulder movement and reduce fatigue or injury risk.

Tunable bistable actuator for posture holding
Fishing line polymer—based twisted and coiled actuator (TCA)
Soft exosuit design for wearability
EEG/EMG-driven torque estimation algorithm
Active/passive assistive modes
High weight-to-power ratio actuator

Alphoenix

At Alphoenix Design Pvt. Ltd. We provide custom design and development of high-efficiency BLDC motors for different sectors like EVs, Aviation and Drones, Industrial machinery and Household appliances.

We’ve designed our motors in such a way that its manufacturing process would reduce material waste of motors by 70% and increase efficiency by 5-8%. Our flagship motors provide an efficiency of around 92%-95%. The motor will be manufactured with the capability to utilize CRGO (Cold-Rolled Grain-Oriented) material in its construction.

Our radial flux motors can provide such efficiency with easy manufacturing processes. Utilizing our new motor makes it feasible to achieve an efficiency rating exceeding 95%.
