ReTaste (2021)

AUGMENTED REALITY TASTE FOR HEALTH AND ENTERTAINMENT.

Following an increase in research on electrogustometry and electrical taste stimulation, a portable and removable wearable taste-stimulation system was proposed and prototyped taking advantage of flexible electronics technology developed at École des Mines de Saint Etienne (EMSE), France.

The INDI + EMSE consortium was supported by the European Commission to develop and validate an initial POC Platform of the device using both a commercial signal generator (Intan Technologies, California) and a second, original 32-channel electronic architecture, and to promote commercialization within a new startup in the EU and out of the EU.

Results include a functional wearable device exhibiting the product robustness required to be replicated and further tested by additional researchers. Open Source content was also generated and is being made available online.

BCI-FOCUSED INTEGRATION FOR REHABILITATION EXOSKELETONS.

With the growing push of exoskeletons in both clinical and non-clinical environments and following increased awareness of their potential to improve social healthcare, specialized multidisciplinary-developer collaborations are being promoted to increase European-Exoskeleton availability and capabilities.

A consortium including mBrainTrain (Serbia) and our studio was awarded a Public Project funded by the European Commission and focused on developing an online- and offline-feedback exoskeleton rehabilitation system increasing the efficiency of exoskeleton training and facilitating their use in non-laboratory environments. 

The project’s scope included design and software improvements to the Alice Exoskeleton to increase user-friendliness and system robustness for usage by non-specialized personnel including household settings.

LOWER-BODY POWERED EXOSKELETONS FOR MOBILITY AND REHABILITATION.

https://doi.org/10.1109/WEROB.2017.8383849

With the growing international popularity of exoskeletons, Mexican University Tecnológico de Monterrey and Spinoff WeaRobot decided to take them to the Latin American market at accessible prices.

Requiring assistance in product and hardware development, INDI was commissioned to develop, validate and clinically-test original prototypes with IP-protection potential.

The project scope covered two adult-focused, lower-limb exoskeletons: one for complete walking assistance in- and out-of-clinic and another one for knee-focused rehabilitation.

ExoBrace (2014)

TISSUE-SAFETY SYSTEM FOR POWERED EXOSKELETONS.

https://doi.org/10.3390/s150204550

Exoskeletons were designed to support patients with disabilities in recovering mobility, providing therapy and daily assistance.

After their introduction to clinics in early 2000’s, usage obstacles still existed as patients with impaired feeling on their legs started showing problems with tissue injuries due to adjustment and fitting difficulties.

In 2014, the studio was commissioned to develop a real-time pressure monitoring system which would support exoskeleton adoption and usage, and which could be easily integrated into multiple robotic systems.
