Power Your World with
Wearable Robots! Do you think
wearable robots are
about the distant future?

The first wearable robot
developed among robots

The first wearable robot, Hardi-man, was developed by General Electric in the mid-1960s.
Wearable robots were developed over 20 years prior to humanoid robots and are distinguished from other robots by their focus on service purposes such as muscle strength augmentation and rehabilitation therapy, rather than technological advancement. In the 2010s, with the advent of high-torque, high-output electric motors suitable for wearable robots and processors capable of real-time control, wearable robotics entered a phase of rapid development and commercialization. During this period, wearable robots started to be categorized based on specific demands, including rehabilitation treatment, healthcare, national defense, and industrial/construction purposes.

Angel Robotics has developed a variety of products, including WalkOn Suit, a walking assistance device for people with disabilities, ANGEL LEGS M20 for rehabilitation treatment, and other assistive devices designed for daily living needs

Cybathlon

Cybathlon, International Cyborg Olympics

In 2016, Switzerland hosted the International Cyborg Olympics, also known as Cybathlon, a competition showcasing wearable robot technologies. The term 'Cybathlon' combines 'Cyborg,' referring to artificially enhanced humans, and 'Athlon,' a Latin word meaning competition. During this event, athletes with disabilities leverage robotic technology to overcome the challenges they face in their daily lives. In addition to the Powered Exoskeleton event, which focuses on wearable robot technology, the competition includes various other events featuring prosthetic limbs, prosthetic hands, brain waves, and wheelchairs.

Proven Global Competence of
Domestic Wearable Robot Technology

During the inaugural Cybathlon in 2016, Kim Byeong-Uk garnered public attention by winning a bronze medal while wearing the WalkOn Suit 1. In the 2nd Cybathlon held in 2020, both Kim Byeong-Uk and Joo-hyun Lee participated wearing the WalkOn Suit 4, achieving gold and bronze medals. These accomplishments showcased the global technological prowess of South Korea's wearable robots.

Wearable robots are
already a part of our
daily lives.

If you think wearable robots are still a distant future, take a closer look.
You'll realize that wearable robots are already deeply integrated into our daily routines.

1

Wearable robots are most actively employed in medical institutions for gait rehabilitation.
They are already in use at numerous
rehabilitation medical facilities and welfare
centers across the country.

2

Wearable robots have extended beyond rehabilitation therapy, now serving as physical assistance devices for the elderly and those with limited mobility. They also function as auxiliary tools for anyone seeking to enhance their physical capabilities.

3

Wearable robots serve a broader purpose beyond muscle strengthening; they play a critical role in safeguarding workers' musculoskeletal systems and ensuring their safety in industrial settings.

4

Wearable robots are indicative of the future of clothing and personal items. Consequently, the demand for creating wearable robots is set to increase. Angel Robotics is preparing for this future by providing essential component technologies, including actuators, drivers, and sensors. With these components, we can produce top-quality wearable robots and other robotic systems.
