¡ã Walk On Suit
Angel Robotics was founded by Sogang University professor of Mechanical Engineering Kyoungchul Kong, whose own research on wearable robot technology planted the seed for the company. Angel Robotics is driven by technological research that enhance the physical abilities of humans.

Angel Robotics makes wearable robots that can help the mobility impaired to walk on their own and to provide technological support during the rehabilitation process. In addition, the company makes robots that protect workers in dangerous work environments and help maintain daily health care.

To date, the company has developed exoskeleton robots, namely their WalkON suit and ANGELEGS. The wearable WalkOn Suit was developed for people with complete lower limb paralysis. With its hybrid drive system, the robot’s capabilities extend beyond a maximum movement range and joint rotation to allow for walking not only on flat surfaces, but on stairs, inclines, and even over stepping stones.

Prof. Kyoungchul Kong led the Korean team to third place at the 2016 International Cyborg Olympics (CYBATHOLON) in the EXO discipline, which brought wide recognition of the technological superiority of Korean robots. At the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Paralympics, former national wheelchair tennis player Yong-ro Lee wore the wearable robot WalkON when he was one of the first torchbearers. At the upcoming 2020 CYBATHOLON, the company will enter their robot with innovative upgrades and improvements in user-optimized gait algorithms, weight, and user interface.

¡ã ANGELEGS
Angel Robotics has also announced the arrival of ANGELEGS, a wearable robot to offer daily support for senior citizens and provide rehabilitative support for the partially disabled. It has adopted non-resistance driver technology that minimizes hindrances to the user’s intended movements, and, without the use of sensors, the robot is able to anticipate the walking intent of the user. Smart shoes equipped with sensors can measure motion data and provide real time walking monitoring. The robot features a total of 12 free joints and can be adjusted to the body for a comfortable fit. It is currently being used at Yonsei Severance Hospital, National Rehabilitation Center, Chonnam University Hospital, Korea University Medical Center, and Chungnam National University Hospital.

¡ãWalking tester for robot leg
Importantly, Angel Robotics has developed a test evaluation robot to objectively assess the safety and performance of the wearable robot, which they have been using in the production process. The reason for this is because of the inherent difficulties for a person to wear the robot and continuously test it under the same conditions. A robot, on the other hand, is well suited to this. The wearable robot is placed on a robot whose walking feet makes contact with a treadmill, and the wearable robot measures the force applied to the robot leg. In addition, if the control algorithm of the wearable robot is optimized so that the robot leg of the walking tester can be easily moved, the wearer can effectively assist the robot.

In August last year, Angel Robotics was selected by Dassault Systèmes as the first Korean company to be selected for their SolidWorks global Entrepreneur support program. Through this, the company was able to receive the online SolidWorks program education, participate and collaborate in a variety of domestic and international events, and have access to a variety of technological research materials. Moreover, Prof. Kyoungchul Kong has the distinction of being the first Korean to give the keynote speech at SolidWorks World, which opened this February in Los Angeles. Prof. Kong gave an overview of the development process of the wearable robot that was made for the elderly and others with weakened muscles, ANGELEGS, and demonstrated it on the stage. By using SolidWorks and 3D printer interlock function, he explained, Angel Robotics was able to greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to design and produce a robot.

Angel Robotics has also entered into a strategic partnership with LG Electronics, which has been actively engaged in entering the robot industry. LG Electronics’ 3 billion won investment deal includes 15% of the company’s shares and continued technological cooperation.
