WalkON Suit: An IoT-Based Robotic Exoskeleton

  • Unique Paper ID: 194890
  • Volume: 12
  • Issue: 10
  • PageNo: 6495-6498
  • Abstract:
  • Assistive technologies have significantly evolved with the integration of robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT), providing innovative solutions for individuals with mobility impairments. The WalkON Suit is a robotic exoskeleton designed to assist paraplegic patients and individuals with lower-limb disabilities in regaining walking ability and independence. This report presents a comprehensive study of the WalkON Suit, including its working principle, components, applications, benefits, and challenges. The system integrates sensors, actuators, and microprocessor-based control along with IoT connectivity for real-time monitoring and rehabilitation support. The objective of this study is to understand how modern assistive robotic systems enhance mobility, improve rehabilitation outcomes, and contribute to better quality of life.
