NASA’s “Iron Man” Robotic Suit Could Help Paraplegics Walk

On land, IHMC is investigating the use of the X1 as an assistive walking device across varied terrain and even stairs. “Robotics is playing a key role aboard the International Space Station and will continue to be critical as we move toward human exploration of deep space,” Michael Gazarik, director of NASA’s Space Technology Program, says. “What’s extraordinary about space technology and our work with projects like Robonaut are the unexpected possibilities space-tech spinoffs may have right here on Earth. It’s exciting to see a NASA-developed technology that might one day help people with serious ambulatory needs begin to walk again, or even walk for the first time. That’s the sort of return on investment NASA is proud to give back to America and the world.”
