An engineering student from De La Salle University (DLSU) has developed a wearable robotic arm that can be used in the therapy of stroke and accident victims. 

Paul Dominique Baniqued told ANC's Future Perfect Tech Shorts that he saw the need for a bio-robotic device while visiting hospitals during his stint selling lab equipment. 

He saw long lines of patients waiting for therapists and thought that he could come up with a way to help these patients.

Baniqued said he was also inspired by science fiction movies like Iron Man and Elysium which featured high-tech exoskeletons. 

"For my research, I would like something that helps people and at the same time at least be cool to show," Baniqued said. 

He is one of 25 Filipinos who received grants from the British Council's Newton Agham Programme, which aims to develop science and innovation in the Philippines.

Baniqued will pursue advanced studies in the United Kingdom where he hopes to further develop his expertise in bio-robotics.
