The human body became a central part of the technological equation.
Robotics advanced looking almost exclusively towards factories, production lines and industrial efficiency, but now a quiet change is beginning to happen.
It is at this point where ATDev comes in, a company created from a real need, one of its founders has used a wheelchair since birth and it was precisely that experience that transformed an academic project into something much greater, applying robotics and artificial intelligence directly to physical rehabilitation.
The main result of that effort is the Reflex, a lightweight robotic device weighing just over 2kg that attaches to the user's leg to assist in orthopedic knee rehabilitation, but does not function as a passive machine.
The system combines sensors, remote monitoring and software-guided exercises. Here robotics cease to be spectacles, they become an extension of the body and when technology begins to physically integrate with us human beings.
There are a large number of people who are born with serious mobility problems that make their lives difficult, such as those who suffer from cerebral palsy where it affects their entire body, and their only mobility is wheelchairs as the only assisted technology, thanks to this advance it could give them better mobility for all those people who suffer from this disease and others.
