Recently, Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control, announced that its Indego exoskeleton device development team won the 2013 Innovator Award for Excellence in Volkswagen Machinery. The award recognizes innovative workers who make the world smarter, safer and more efficient. Indego is a personal mobility system that monitors the level of balance of the user through gyroscopes and sensors to control position changes. This "wearable robot" can be used as a mechanical lower limb support for the patient, providing the hips and knees with the torque or rotational force required for upright walking. Thanks to the proprietary control interface, the unit runs smoothly and is in harmony with the natural movements and postures of the human body. The Indego weighs 12.25 kilograms (27 pounds) and is only half the size of other exoskeleton devices. In addition, its slim, lightweight design and modular design allow for quick assembly and disassembly for ease of use and transport. “I am very proud to be able to lead the team in the development of Indego and sincerely congratulate the entire team for this honor.†Achilleas Dorotheou, Vice President of Parker Hannifin and Head of Human Movement and Control, said, “Thank you very much for Vanderbilt. University, Shepherd Center, and patients participating in our clinical trials, we look forward to continuing to explore this technology in the future." The 9th Annual Volkswagen Machinery Breakthrough Award recognizes outstanding products and innovators in the fields of technology, medicine, space exploration and automotive design. The Breakthrough Product Awards are awarded to products that lead the industry at the design and engineering level, and the Breakthrough Innovator Award is presented to innovators who innovate and innovate the world. "Pike Hannifin has always been committed to the development of products and technologies to solve some of the world's most pressing challenges, improving the way people work and live, making them smarter and more efficient."
