Robots that help people walk again take the stage in Singapore

At the Singapore Rehabilitation Conference 2026, the most hopeful machines in the room were not trying to replace therapists — they were trying to give their patients more repetitions, more practice, more chances. Fourier Rehab showed its ExoMotus M4, a lower-limb exoskeleton that helps people recovering from stroke or spinal cord injury practise walking again; ImmersiveMotus, which turns rehabilitation exercises into VR, AR and camera-guided games usable in hospitals, clinics and homes, mostly without Wi-Fi; and Cosmo, a full-size companion humanoid that navigates busy wards with LiDAR. The conference theme said it plainly: inspire, innovate, impact, integrate.

The upbeat factorrecovery is built from repetitions — and these machines exist to make sure no one runs out of them.
