"It's called the Sleev. For now, it's not far beyond the drawing books, but from how and what it's projected to be built for, its God damn great solution for the purpose. Sleev is designed as a daily upper-limb exosuit (wearable robot). It supports independent arm movement and is effortless to wear and remove: just one hand, no more! Designers: Youngha Rho and Sungchan Ko"
"The market is flooded with iterations of bulky and inconvenient wearable robots that are designed with a great level of technological input and robotic sensors, but somehow make the wearer feel like a cyborg. With its sleek and lightweight limb, the Sleev is conceptualized to change that for a robotic assistant that you would like to wear. It can be strapped on like any other elbow brace to provide assistance in its movement."
Sleev is a conceptual daily upper-limb exosuit designed for effortless one-handed donning and removal while supporting independent arm movement. The sleek, lightweight form aims to replace bulky, cyborg-like wearable robots by providing unobtrusive assistance strapped on like an elbow brace. Functionality targets rehabilitation for stroke and sports injury recovery, as well as load-bearing daily tasks such as carrying groceries or holding a baby for extended periods. The design incorporates FMG (force myography) to detect muscle pressure and infer movement intentions, enabling intelligent, responsive assistance. Designers Youngha Rho and Sungchan Ko emphasize integrating exoskeleton benefits into everyday life.
