Engineers build the robot to keep the elderly from falling

2022-09-15 11:17:00, Tech CNA

Engineers have built a special robot to help the elderly avoid injury during a fall.

Officially known as “Mobile Robot Balance Assistant”, and informally as MRBA or “Mr. Bah", the device is a motorized vehicle with an attached harness.

The device is full of sensors and when it detects fall-related movements, it tightens the harness to keep the patient upright.

According to the World Health Organization, falls are the second leading cause of death from accidental or unintentional injuries worldwide.

In Singapore, where "Mr. Bah" was built, falls account for 40 percent of injury-related deaths./ CNA.al
