With the vast number of people in this world, countless people have gotten into severe accidents that might have caused them to lose sensation in their arms. In some extreme cases, those accidents can get even worse, with the people involved in them suffering a stroke. No matter the case, those people will still require a reliable way to regain their arm-strength to get some movement back in their arm(s). That’s exactly where Tech. companies such as Dimension Robotics come in, who are focused on using technology to help rehabilitate people back to a “normal” lifestyle. And so, during the last few years, Dimension Robotics has been working on a technologically advanced personal health robot that’s specifically designed to help people who have gone through severe muscular trauma and have suffered from a stroke. Meet the Dimension Robotics DR. CaRo.
The Dimension Robotics DR. CaRo is a high-tech robotic arm system designed specifically to restore mobility and/or to strengthen atrophied muscles to stroke victims, all without requiring any sort of prohibitively expensive physical therapy sessions.
The device consists of a motorized handle-equipped robotic arm that’s directly attached to a 23-inch display, for which the system is meant to aid in rebuilding neural connections to a patient’s limbs with entertaining mobility-training exercises.
It’s also worth noting that the DR. CaRo can switch between Passive, Assistive and Impedance/Resistive Modes to accommodate patients looking to regain strength and dexterity in their limbs.
So, let’s talk a bit more about it and check out what this high-tech robotic arm system is all about.
Why is there so much hype about the DR. CaRo?
People who attended CES 2020’s Showcase must have been familiar with this product, which was blowing people away with its outstanding mobility-restoration abilities, as well as all the kinds of things that was be able to do on that matter.
In short, this personal health robot can cater to a user’s needs, and it can identify what kind of muscular issues its user(s) might have, ultimately helping each user to come up with viable solutions to counteract their personal muscular issues.
That said, the DR. CaRo is more than able to help anyone who has gone through severe muscular trauma.
In fact, the team at Robotics Dimension takes great pride in their product as it is one of the best products to be released in the healthcare world, more specifically, for people who have been struggling their entire lives in dealing with past muscular traumas.
Now, let’s take a look at some of the features present in this high-tech robotic arm system.
NOTABLE FEATURES of the DR. CaRo
The Dimension Robotics DR. CaRo has features that are extremely innovative in terms of technology, but still quite easy to work with. So, let’s take a deep dive into those features.
- Firstly, this product is marketed as a personal health care assistant, meaning that it is more than able to figure out what kind of muscular issues you may be experiencing and then figure out a viable solution to help fix the issue.
- It has a built-in high precision force sensor that can detect the slightest movement and can lend your arm extra support in moving it around.
- You can navigate the program with the help of the arm and tell it what issues you may be facing, and according to that, the program can create personalized exercises for you that might be best to get through the muscular pain and trauma.
- You can use the DR. CaRo in one of three (x3) modes: Passive, Assisted, and Impedance / Resistive Modes, which allows you to personalize what kind of exercises your body may require to get well.
CONCLUSION
The Dimension Robotics DR. CaRo is a high-tech robotic arm system designed specifically to restore mobility and/or to strengthen atrophied muscles to stroke victims, all without requiring any sort of prohibitively expensive physical therapy sessions.
The device consists of a motorized handle-equipped robotic arm that’s directly attached to a 23-inch display, for which the system is meant to aid in rebuilding neural connections to a patient’s limbs with entertaining mobility-training exercises.
In sum, the Dimension Robotics DR. CaRo is designed to work as a personal healthcare robot that’s focused on restoring its users’ mobility.
It has certainly made big-waves in the robotics world and taken people by storm.
