HAL, the Wearable Cyborg™, stands for Hybrid Assistive Limb.
HAL is a robot that can supplement, expand or improve the user’s physical capabilities, particularly for people who have physical mobility difficulties as a result of car accidents, illness, or aging.
Big data of humans and things are accumulated, analyzed, and processed through artificial intelligence, thus accelerating the creation of a new cybernics industry that fuses humans with cyberspace and physical space.
What does HAL do?
HAL supports and improves the user’s physical mobility, monitoring the user’s center of gravity to infer intended body movement and direction of movement. Sensors attached to the skin pick up bio-potential signals generated in the brain immediately after the user attempts muscle movement, and operates motors incorporated in the user’s joints.
How Does Cyberdyne Treatment work with HAL?
There are a few processes and procedures that are followed when the HAL is at work in a Cyberdyne treatment. They are:
- Think
- Send Signals
- Read the signals
- Recognize the movement:
- Feedback:
