The Vanderbilt exoskeleton, marketed as Indego,[1][2] is a powered exoskeleton designed by the Center for Intelligent Mechatronics at Vanderbilt University in the U.S. state of Tennessee.[3][4] It is intended to assist paraplegics, stroke victims and other paralyzed or semi-paralyzed people to walk independently.[5] Motion and control technologies manufacturer Parker Hannifin is funding further development, and plans to release the first commercial version of the exoskeleton in 2015.[6][7]
