- Recently, researchers from Sahmyook University in Korea have developed EX1, an exercise assistance robot, with the goal to amplify physical function and strength in senior individuals.
- Led by Professor Wan-hee Lee from Sahmyook University College of Health Science, Korea, a collaborative team of researchers, Noble County, and Samsung Electronics, assessed the effectiveness of EX1 in executing a four-week combined exercise program for older adults.
- This will further expand the global wearable robot market, promoting further research and commercialization," concludes an optimistic Prof. Lee.
