AI Wearable Robotics

Intelligent Wearable Rehabilitation Systems

Developed at the Neural Rehabilitation and Robotics Laboratory of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hopebotics delivers clinically validated wearable robotic systems that combine EMG-driven control, brain–computer interface technology, and biomimetic artificial muscles to restore motor function and independence for patients worldwide.

Product 01

HandTasker

Intelligent wearable rehabilitation hand system. Weighing only 100g, 3D printed and fully customizable for different hand sizes and spasticity levels—designed for stroke and peripheral nerve injury patients.

Core Technology

Multi-mode Training

EMG-driven, BCI intention control, and task-oriented guidance modes—covering moderate to severe impairment levels with adaptive rehabilitation protocols.

Dexterity Task Training

TaskBoard system for 5 types of daily fine motor tasks including cylindrical grasp, spherical grasp, and pinch grip—restoring functional hand movements for daily living.

Neural Remodeling

Closed-loop system of intention recognition, motion assistance, and brain feedback—promoting motor cortex reorganization through neuroplasticity-driven rehabilitation.

Product 02

XoBrace

The world's first wearable joint-assist robot using soft fabric and dynamic air-cell technology. Originally developed for children with cerebral palsy, now covering rehabilitation, post-operative support, and sports protection.

Core Technology

Dynamic Pneumatic Actuation

Compliant, soft assistance through precise air-cell pressure regulation—eliminating the injury risks associated with rigid exoskeletons while delivering controlled joint support.

Lightweight & Breathable

Advanced 3D knitting technology creates a fabric-based structure engineered for extended wear comfort during long rehabilitation sessions.

Clinical Results

  • Pre-clinical studies with cerebral palsy children demonstrating significant mobility gains
  • Case study: 3-year-9-month child progressed from unable to stand to stable standing after 15 sessions, and walking after 20 sessions
  • Adult sports version launched at Hong Kong International Medical Fair, May 2024

Applications

Sports Knee Brace

Post-op Joint Recovery

Elderly Joint Support

Product 03

XoMuscle

Revolutionary high-performance biomimetic artificial muscle. Power-to-weight ratio exceeds natural muscle by 200x with response speed 20x faster than biological equivalents.

Core Technology

Surpassing Human Muscle

Power density that exceeds human skeletal muscle, enabling stronger and more responsive assistive motion.

Morphological Precision

Fabricated to match any human muscle morphology, enabling anatomically accurate assistive devices.

BCI Integration

Interfaces with brain–computer interface systems for intention-aligned motor assistance.

R&D Status
