The Company’s research and development strategy is to develop a range of intelligent robotic
rehabilitation and assisting devices that will be beneficial for each stage of a disabled individual’s
rehabilitation or adjustment to a permanent disability - from initial treatment at a hospital and/or
rehab center to longer-term rehabilitation and assistance at home. The Company’s devices are
being designed to enhance the strength and motions of the users’ impaired limbs and empower
them to conduct daily life tasks independently.
The company started its actual device development by coordinated work of a teams of scholars lead
by the company's CTO to perform the R&D actions needed In the particular future field of Robotic
Rehabilitation research.
The team is composed of experts and advisors in the fields of Medicine, Orthopedic rehabilitation,
Neurological rehabilitation, Physiotherapy and Occupational therapy.
Electric engineering, Machine engineering, Robotic engineering, Hydraulic engineering and Material
engineers.
Physics and Math experts.
Computer engineers and Hardware and Software experts.
Leading experts names are listed in the "About us" page.
Medical/Rehab Community Interest: Following demonstrations of the OR during 2003 and
2004, several prominent US institutions engaged in robotic rehabilitation research have agreed to
conduct and partially fund Phase 1 clinical trials using the OR.
Crawford Research Institute at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, Georgia,
Rehabilitation Technology - Cleveland Clinic Foundation -
the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC).
The Georgia Institute of Technology has conducted during mid 2005 successful bench tests of the
OR which are required before human trials can commence. IRB application was submitted
successfully by Shepherd Rehabilitation Center. A pilot test is due to start on the last quarter of
2005 scheduled to be finished by the first quarter of the year 2006.
