Affordable exoskeletons for effective Assistance
Traction
We have significant momentum moving into our next phase with connections to the University of Texas guiding our design and prototyping for our next iteration.
Need Centered
Our customers are physical rehabilitation facilities and individuals who can benefit from mobility enhancements. We are determined to provide effective rehabilitation without burdening the user through unintuitive and bulky hardware.
A Platform for Physical AI
User intention capture is the core of exoskeleton control. AI fills in the gaps of these control methods by capturing the nuances of human kinematics through our sensor fusion pipeline.
An Expanding Market
The exoskeleton market is expected to increase in revenue from $529 million in 2022 to $3.9 billion by 2030.
Our Mission
Applying our expertise and passion to create affordable exoskeletons to broaden the accessibility for robotic assistance.
Our Customers
What Do Customers Want?
Speaking with exoskeleton companies, which specialize in robotic-based rehabilitation and work directly with clinical facilities, we discovered that device cost and operational difficulties hinder the widespread adoption of exoskeletons into the clinical space
What Issues Do Users Face?
Speaking with users of rehabilitative exoskeletons we realized due to the high cost of modern exoskeletons many patients who receive treatment are hit with high costs to support the clinical facilities using these devices
Given only qualitative data from users, health insurance companies usually aren’t convinced that such an expensive treatment is necessary and regularly cancel/revoke coverage for continued treatment.
First Functional Prototype
What Makes Us
Within the four months of our senior design course we conceptualized, designed, manufactured, and delivered a fully custom operational knee exoskeleton
Redefining Rehabilitation
Our exoskeleton’s production cost is far below what is on the market and its intuitive design and lack of complexity allow for a more scalable product
Data Collection
Our data collection pipeline provides quantitative data used to evaluate user mobility progress providing an extra layer of verification for physical therapists to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment. This pipeline also acts as the foundation of our AI integration for user intention capture and prediction
Fully Custom
With a fully custom design, we took a ground-up approach, giving us the freedom to innovate as much as possible
