Development of a neck-mounted obstacle detection robot for kyphosis

A companion robot that makes you want to walk with you

Abstract

In patients with kyphosis, the spine is bent backward, which can lead to a loss of posture and interfere with walking and daily life. In this state, it is difficult to notice obstacles in front of them, and the risk of falls and accidents increases while walking. Through the feedback provided by this robot, the patient can be more aware of obstacles in front of him, reducing the risk of falls and accidents.
