KUKA hirob rehabilitation robot mimics movement of a horse to help rider with improvement of motor skills - Yanko Design
Briefly

The article discusses the innovative rehabilitation robot known as hirob, developed by KUKA, which imitates the motion of a horse to help patients improve motor functions. Initially based on KUKA's industrial robot arm, hirob lends itself to enhancing traditional therapeutic methods such as hippotherapy, allowing patients recovering from strokes or surgeries to regain mobility. The robot's unique design ensures a secure experience that minimizes falling risks while offering adjustable intensity to cater to individual patient needs, thus promoting independence in rehabilitation processes.
Rehabilitation robots are transforming recovery by providing patients with innovative solutions like hirob, which mimics a horse's movement for motor function improvement.
KUKA's hirob robot arm is designed to simulate the movement of a horse, enhancing motor skills in neurological patients while ensuring safe and independent rehabilitation.
