Twiice

Thanks to the development of a modular exoskeleton that acts as a walking aid, TWIICE enables people to regain some autonomy in respect of everyday activities such as sitting, standing and walking on even and uneven ground. The designers also want to enable users to experience certain sensations (again) that are associated with walking or simply standing up. A single exoskeleton design would not be able to meet all of these requirements, because every person's condition is different. It was therefore necessary to develop a modular, customisable product. The exoskeleton weighs 15kg and offers users 3 hours of autonomous movement. It is designed to adapt to different pathologies, morphologies and user experiences. The technical design process was geared towards achieving a simplicity that makes the device robust, reliable and light.
