TWIICE is a modular lower limb exoskeleton for walking assistance that allows paraplegics to regain independence in their daily activities: sitting and standing, walking on regular, rough or tilted surfaces, climbing stairs or interacting in community.
Our intention is trying to give back users part of the sensations associated with walking or standing. Every disability being unique, one single exoskeleton alone cannot fulfill all expectations. Hence the need for a modular and customizable device. With a weight of 15 kilos and a battery enabling 3 hours of active walking, TWIICE is designed to handle different pathologies, morphologies and user experiences. The whole technical design is developed with a special emphasis on simplicity, which confers robustness, reliability and lightness to the device.
TWIICE is a spin-off from the Laboratoire de Systèmes Robotique at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). The team is multidisciplinary and consists of 3 PhD students and 2 engineers.
