Dad builds robotic exoskeleton to help son walk - BBC News

French dad and robotics engineer Jean-Louis Constanza has built a robotic suit for his 16-year-old son Oscar that allows him to walk.
Oscar, a wheelchair user, activates the suit by saying "Robot, stand up" and it then walks for him.
Jean-Louis co-founded the company that builds the suit, which can allow users to move upright for a few hours a day.
It is used in several hospitals, but it isn't yet available for everyday use by individuals and has a price tag of around €150,000 (about £127,700).
A personal exoskeleton would need to be much lighter, the company's engineers said.

    His devotion to his son is admirable, but no greater than many other fathers. It's denigrating, to most fathers, to make it seem as though Jean-Louis is somehow more pronounced in his devotion. Or, did you miss the part where he has a company? He's an engineer? Most fathers don't have those luxuries. Is Jean-Louis' devotion greater than the poor father from a small village, who walks twenty miles a day, to provide an education for his children? This small village parent (based on an actual example I read about) will NEVER build an exoskeleton for his children, but his devotion is just as great. As for improving the lives of others, well I'm sorry if you are devoid of concern for other people, and don't contribute to the welfare of society, but most people do. You don't need to build exoskeletons to build a better world. Hell, all you really have to do is, be a good person. Just a smile makes the world that much better. It's funny how many humans often exalt others, as though those people are "superior", while having little security in their own "place in the world". Be better than that. Stop setting up hierarchies of who is better than whom. You are as worthy as ANY OTHER HUMAN, and none are more worthy than you. Stop raising people above you, and reach back, and lift EVERYONE to the same level.

    @@marshalofod1413 dude relax, I'm not putting him above a poorer father at all, you can't deny the fact that he moved heaven and earth for his son, and imporved other peoples treatment in the process. Poorer people proportionally put in the same effort and devotion to the care of they're child, you can fuck right off if you think I'm saying otherwise. This man does what is right by his family and others he is a "good person" he hasn't just made himself smile, he has made his son smile, and made the lives of countless people who can get better treatment thanks to his machine smile. I'm not raising anyone above anybody else, I think you are projecting some insecurity there, I simply expressed my admiration for the effort he put in and the ingenuity of his creation. Also don't you dare accuse me of being "devoid of concern for others". How do you reach that ridiculous conclusion? What makes you the arbiter of concern, I'm concerned for the people who can't access treatment, but I respect and praise Jean Louis for reducing the number of people that can't get effective treatment. Why the hell do you get so damn preachy and self righteous? At the end of the day JL has improved the lives of many people with his exoskeleton, so I think he is due praise, and I'm not saying "poor people just care less" or anything like that, I'm simply commenting on the fact that JL has stood out and done something uniquely brilliant.

    Such machines could help extremely weak people train up muscles and balance. This is the most exciting part of this according to me. It could help so many people learn to walk better or even again. A lot of old people lack the tools needed to learn to train their ability to walk. You have devices like the rollator that helps people walk. The issue is that it tends to diminish peoples ability to keep balance with time as well as certain muscles. Imagine being able to help people with spine injuries being able to walk again :).

Pity people like Richard Branson aren't involved in these kind of projects. I mean yeah the recent Space Cruiser thing is amazing. But I'd sooner put my money on something like this as people with disabilities have been struggling for too many years. I mean it's 2021 & still there's places that can't even give easy access to their buildings !!!😕. I admire your strength with what you have to cope with everyday. Stay well. 🙏🤗💖

    @@matbroomfield time will tell, of course. But from a few articles I’ve come across, this is just one of many exoskeleton projects. Huge companies worldwide reportedly are racing to develop them for medical, industrial, and military applications. Some of the other medical ones look a lot smaller. Sadly, this short video didn’t include any context. Instead they just took the easiest human interest angle, which leaves us with lots of questions. As someone who’s had brief experience using a powered wheelchair, and pushing my mother in a non-powered wheelchair, there are many problems with that technology. One of the biggest problems, though, is that walking people are clueless and rude - exoskeletons can only help a bit with that. When using a powered wheelchair for shopping, I found that some other shoppers collided with me because they only looked ahead at their own eye level (which would cause them to collide with kids or shorter people too). And most others who saw me refused to even make eye contact with me while I was in the chair. Good grief, people can be so weird!

We could not afford the $80.000 solutions, so we reached out to experts from around the world and built our own, then made it all open source, so now anyone can build their own.
