Abstract: There is disclosed a mobility aid for use by a user having a lower body amputation site. The mobility aid includes a lower body exoskeleton (LBE). The LBE has a pelvic support structure and a first leg and a second leg. Each of the first and second legs are movably coupled to the pelvic support structure, wherein at least the first and second legs are selectively actuable to move the lower body exoskeleton relative to a surface on which the mobility aid is positioned. The LBE also includes a carrier selectively positionable with respect to the lower body exoskeleton and, which in use, supports the user at or about an amputation site; and a harness system configured to, when in use, secure the user to the lower body exoskeleton.

Abstract: A wearable navigation system for blind or visually impaired persons with wireless assistance. The system has one or more than one camera to capture images from the surroundings of the blind user. A server uses the images captured by the camera along with a global positioning and specialized satellite imagery to determine a route for the blind user to follow. The user uses an audio input/output transceiver to enter and hear commands from the server. The system also has a wireless communications device so that the blind user can ask for remote assistance if there is a situation that the server cannot process.
