Flexo - Flexible Exoskeleton for Therapeutic Use

FleXo- Flexible exoskeleton for therapeutic use, was a WEAR Sustain funded project initiated by bio-media designer company, Sensoree 1 in collaboration with University of Twente. WEAR (Wearable Technologists Engage with Artists for Responsible Innovation) Sustain 2 is a Horizon 2020 research and innovation initiative funded by the European Commission to engage sustainable cross-disciplinary wearable technologies and smart textiles as one of the main objectives. The idea of FleXo was inspired from the previous projects by Sensoree that detect and imitate the feeling of Awe; briefly discussed in section 2.2. The main research question that guides this project is, how to realize a system that can mediate touch for the use in physiotherapy.
