Abstract
The application of robotics technology to physical rehabilitation is in need of a revolution. Many years ago, my thoughts along these lines began during my rehabilitation from knee surgery. While spending a few weeks on crutches, I thought there must be a way to apply robotics technology to mobility and rehabilitation needs. Finally, many years later, when I started working on a product idea, I still had no idea about most of the technology and business challenges that would need to be solved before bringing such a product to the market.
