EULON
Developer, Manufacturer, and Distributor of Rehabilitation Robots
“Building robots has long been a dream close to my heart, and I will dedicate my life to creating hope for others.”Changsha Youlong Robotics Co., Ltd.(hereinafter referred to as“EULON”) remarked Xiong Jun, the founder, in an interview with VCBeat.
“An individual, a family, and a nation cannot live without hope; creating hope for others is the most meaningful endeavor.” After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Mr. Xiong Jun, a native of Wuhan, decided to let go of everything and embark on a long march of hope after completing a 28-day quarantine period.
At that time, having already spent more than a decade immersed in the healthcare industry, he had encountered countless individuals who had become disabled or fallen into poverty due to illness. Their resilience in striving for survival amidst despair, and their optimism in finding joy despite suffering, profoundly touched his heart. Gradually, almost imperceptibly, the ideals of “using technology to change reality” and “creating hope for others” began to emerge in his mind, becoming increasingly clear and bright.
“Exoskeleton robotics is a sunrise industry, yet existing products still fall short of universal accessibility in terms of functionality and economic affordability. This is precisely the direction we are striving toward,” introduced Xiong Jun. He noted that major economies worldwide are grappling with severe challenges such as population aging, leading to a continuous rise in demand for elderly care services and medical rehabilitation. Given China’s large population base and relatively high proportion of people with disabilities, the demand for exoskeleton robots is particularly strong.
In April 2020, Youlong Robotics was officially established. EULON is aA Technology-Driven Enterprise Based on Cutting-Edge Intelligent Rehabilitation R&D, committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology to create a better life for humanity. The company collaborates withShenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of SciencesDeveloped a series ofIndividuals with Lower Limb Mobility Impairments and Disabilitiesintelligent products. In the future, it will focus on innovative development in the fields of medical rehabilitation and assistive technologies for the elderly. Its core product isSoft Exoskeleton Robot。
According to Mr. Xiong Jun, the founder, the most distinctive feature of the EULON flexible exoskeleton robot lies in its “flexibility.”
Ulong SEXO Series Flexible Exoskeleton Robot
Its SEXO series of exoskeleton robots has made significant efforts centered around the concept of “softness”:
First, the adoption ofFlexible Structure. This structure enables exoskeleton robots to better adapt to individuals with varying physiological parameters (such as differences in limb length and joint structure) and diverse movement conditions (including level ground, uphill, and downhill locomotion);
Second, adoptFlexible Bowden Cable Drive. The EULON flexible exoskeleton robot utilizes high-strength flexible Bowden cables to connect the hip and knee joints, thereby assisting joint extension. The direction of force applied by the Bowden cables aligns with human muscular anatomy, providing assistance parallel to muscles and tendons. This design better conforms to the biomechanical characteristics of muscle exertion during movement, enabling natural and effective joint actuation while ensuring precise force output and sustained operational durability;
Third,Broad Potential User Base. By upgrading the algorithms, the soft exoskeleton is made accessible to a broader population, serving both to enhance walking capacity in healthy individuals and to facilitate lower-limb rehabilitation training for patients with motor impairments, thereby promoting the recovery of motor function.
Compared to other exoskeleton robots on the market, EULON's flexible exoskeleton robot productsMore compact design,Wearable UseMore Convenient, users can easily complete donning independently within 30 seconds.
"Light"This is exemplified by the fact that the entire flexible lower-limb exoskeleton robot weighs only 1.8 kilograms, roughly equivalent to a 2-liter bottle of cola, making it virtually imperceptible to the wearer when strapped around the waist.
“Qiao”Reflected in its product design, which adoptsCompact, integrated design,The overall appearance of the robot is sleek and streamlined, with curved surfaces that conform to the body, ensuring comfort and softness in areas of contact with the human body, thereby achieving better integration with the wearer and guaranteeingAesthetically Pleasing WearwhileReduce the psychological burden on users during wear。
Intelligent Dynamic Perception System: Forged by Multimodal Information Fusion and Massive Real-World Data
The intelligent dynamic perception system is the core enabler for achieving seamless human-machine integration in exoskeleton robots, and it also constitutes the technological moat for exoskeleton robot companies.
EULON, in collaboration with the R&D team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has forged a suite integratingAn intelligent motion sensing system featuring high-barrier technologies such as multi-parameter optimized POLIC control, small-sample iterative learning, and real-time multimodal sensor recognition with predictive capabilities, characterized by low latency and high precision.
Take stability and safety as examples. To ensure user safety during operation, Ulong Robotics has implemented an operational safety protection system. Through multi-modal information fusion, the product can determine the user’s posture based on their wearing status. The control algorithm automatically and intelligently adjusts control parameters according to the user’s walking speed and stride length, while the control system also performs gait prediction. When discrepancies arise between identification results and predictions, the robot will automatically re-identify and adjust within the next two to three steps to provide walking support that best aligns with the user’s intent, thereby ensuring system stability and user safety.
After mastering the key core technologies, the EULON R&D team devoted themselves to intensive research and development, launching the first-generation product within six months and a full range of multiple products within 15 months.
Youlong Robotics has achieved such remarkable speed and accomplishments in product R&D, thanks largely to its core leadership team. Each member of the team brings unique strengths, closely integrating and mutually reinforcing technological innovation with commercial applications, thereby establishing Youlong Technology’s distinctive competitive advantages in robotics.
Youlong Robot R&D Team
The founder of EULON believes that with the deepening aging population and technological advancements, both flexible and rigid exoskeletons will become widely adopted products in the future, “much like purchasing a high-end appliance for the home.” Given current technology and application scenarios, flexible exoskeleton robots are more technologically mature, offer better user experience, and have broader application potential compared to their rigid counterparts, indicating immense development prospects.
Currently, Youlong Robotics has partnered with dozens of hospitals in China and is beginning to expand its presence across the Chinese market.
Over the next one to two years, Youlong will complete the research and development of its rehabilitation product line and lead technological trends in the health and wellness industry. The company is currently seeking a new round of financing.
