That's a serious flex.
While robotic exoskeletons have a long way to go before they're affordable and available to the average consumer, they're still helping patients make monumental strides.
Take Richard Hernandez, who became bound to a wheelchair after a spinal cord injury over twenty years ago. Now, using an exoskeleton developed by the Barcelona-based medical startup ABLE Human Motion, Hernandez can walk around on his own, largely unimpeded.at the Mobile World Congress 2023 in Barcelona.
Hernandez has been testing ABLE's exoskeletons for several years now as a "pilot." Although "rudimentary" in its initial stages, he says, the latest version is an "immense" upgrade. "With my relatively low injury and my fairly good balance, I can use it as you saw a moment ago, completely autonomously, simply with a remote control that I carry on a crutch or walker, which I use to control all the functions with two buttons," Hernandez said.
In fact, Hernandez got to put his newfound mobility to the test in a game of ping pong versus literal royalty: Felipe VI, the King of Spain.
