The senator met the technology, called Atalante, while traveling in the United States: “I’m not the same anymore”
Senator of São Paulo Mara Gabrielli (PSD) posted on his Twitter this Thursday 27, a video in which he appears trying to equipment which allows people with paralysis can stand what if move in multiple directions with free arms. “I’m not the same person after testing this gear,” she wrote.
The machine, from the name Atalanta, was developed by the American company Wandercraft and is not used in Brazil. It works like a robotic exoskeletonthat is, an artificial skeleton that is used externally, glued to the person’s body, to support and allow movements to be reproduced.
I’m not the same person anymore after testing this gear! In the last three days I have been on a mission in the USA, where I tested the Atalante, an exoskeleton that acts as a support so that people with paralysis can stand up, move multidirectionally and have their arms free. pic.twitter.com/1QzrtNKcVa
