‘Angel Legs’: Assisting the Elderly with Mobility Challenges

The ‘UAE AI & Robotics for Good’ competition held in the UAE in 2017.

While many companies focus on developing robots for individuals with complete paralysis, 'Angel Legs' stands out as a unique innovation designed specifically for the elderly and others experiencing muscle weakness. Developed by SG Robotics, 'Angel Legs' features an automatic motion recognition system, allowing users to move without the need for manual controls. This cutting-edge design makes mobility assistance more intuitive and natural.

In 2017, 'Angel Legs' advanced to the finals of the UAE AI & Robotics Award for Good, a prestigious robotics competition held in Dubai. SG Robotics was the only Asian team among the finalists, selected from 1,017 applicants worldwide. This recognition highlighted the team’s innovation in developing wearable robots that improve the mobility and quality of life for people with physical impairments.

SG Robotics has developed two versions of 'Angel Legs': one for general users suffering from muscle weakness and another for rehabilitation therapy. The company plans to commercialize the product in the first half of next year. SG Robotics is committed to creating social value through robotic technology, striving to contribute to a world where mobility assistance is more accessible and inclusive for all. Later, SG Robotics rebranded as Angel Robotics, continuing its mission to develop advanced wearable robotic solutions for individuals with mobility impairments.
