Upper Limb Assistive Device
(FEA：Flexion - Extension - Assistance arm)
This power assist device aims to reduce burdens of caregiver and use for rehabilitation of the disabled.
And now, we apply this device to develop a new upper limb exoskeleton.

Wearable Upper Limb Assistive Device
(FEA2：Flexion - Extension - Assistance arm 2)
FEA2 is developed for reducing burdens of caregiver like hard labor, holding a care-receiver, and so on. FEA2 can assist 30% of the power to user with 70kg of the load.
We are doing a lot of research and development for commercialization of the device.
| Characteristics 1. Lightest weight in the world(Approx.5kg) 2. Easy to wear 3. A wide movable range |

Electromyograms of wearing FEA2/not wearing FEA2
At the experiment of carrying tank of 8kg, we researched the percentage of assistance of FEA2. At the result, the data shows a 40percent decrease in both arms’ EMG comparing with the assistance of FEA2 and without the assistance of FEA2. So the effectiveness of FEA2 has been checked.
