Xiborg has been developing a robotic limb, “Shoebill” in collaboration with. Shoebill includes an electrical motor, computer, etc. which enables a user to move naturally like a intact human. Its Exteroir is designed by Tetsuya Konishi (exiii, Inc. )
Active
Almost all conventional prostheses are composed of passive elements. Shoebill moves actively with an electrical motor. This active component enables users to go up stairs, stand up from chair, etc. , though these motions are commonly challenging for above-knee amputees.
Small
A prosthesis with motor and battery tends to be too large. We keep balance between its size and specification in order to keep the size within human leg’s. (appox. 12cm height of knee joint)
Light
Active componts often make devices too heavy. We again try to keep balance between weight and specification considering users feeling. (approx. 1300g)
Finally , Xiborg and SonyCSL will joint the world first cyborg competition, hold in Zurich, Switzerland in Oct. 2016. Cybathlon is a competition among disabled people as “pilots” with technology organized by
There are 6 different disciplines and Xiborg will join ”. Studentenrabatte so facharbeit verhauen sparst du im studium studieren. Pilot will compete though various tasks such as ramp, stairs, tilted terrain, door and so forth which can be seen in our daily life.
