Repawse Pet Power Assistive Exoskeleton

Zhou Leijing

Pet Care, Toys, Supplies and Products for Animals Design Repawse Pet Power Assistive Exoskeleton by Zhou Leijing Repawse is a rehabilitation exoskeleton designed for dogs with hindlimb impairment. Surface electromyography sensors read muscle signals from a healthy forelimb, and a microcontroller uses these signals to predict movement intention. Linear actuators then move the hindlimb support in real time, so walking stays coordinated and natural. The frame is made of aluminum alloy, the lining of soft memory foam, and the soles of anti-slip rubber. Parts are 3D printed from body scans for an individual fit and greater comfort.
