InteSpring
InteSpring, based in the Delft robotics hub, specialized in passive compensation systems. They developed the Exobuddy (military load carriage system) and the Balancer (industrial tool support). While the company remains active in engineering consultancy and mechanical innovation, its standalone exoskeleton product line is reported as historical or project-based.
Veristride
Veristride develops wearable sensor technology and software intended for gait monitoring and rehabilitation. Their technology provides real-time biofeedback to patients and clinicians, aiming to improve walking symmetry and reduce fall risk for individuals with mobility impairments. They operate as an enabling technology provider for the medical and wearable robotics sectors.
Gait Up
Gait Up, a spin-off of EPFL and CHUV, specializes in motion sensing technology for human movement analysis. Their wearable sensors and algorithms provide objective metrics for gait and physical activity, which are used to evaluate the efficacy of rehabilitation and the performance of wearable robotic devices. They are a provider of ‘enabling technology’ within the […]
Technaid
Technaid develops robotic and motion analysis systems intended for health and movement science. Their Exo-H3 is a powered lower-limb exoskeleton specifically designed for research into robotic rehabilitation and gait analysis. They also provide inertial motion capture sensors used in conjunction with wearable robotics for precise movement tracking.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has a historical interest in wearable robotics, particularly for high-stress and hazardous environments. They developed a ‘Power Assist Suit’ (PAS) exhibited in the mid-2010s, intended for use in nuclear disaster recovery operations. While MHI remains a major industrial force, their standalone commercial exoskeleton development is reported as historical or project-based research.
IUVO
IUVO specializes in the design and development of innovative wearable robotics. Their portfolio includes research into both active (powered) and passive (non-powered) exoskeletons for upper and lower body support. They are known for collaborating on the MATE exoskeleton series (distributed by Comau) and for their research into soft robotics and clinical rehabilitation systems.
Humotech
Humotech provides research platforms that allow for the rapid prototyping and testing of wearable robotics, orthotics, and prosthetics. Their Caplex system is an ’emulator’ that uses off-board motors to simulate various device behaviors on a human user. The company serves academic and industrial researchers by facilitating evidence-based design before physical prototyping.
Wearable Robotics srl
Wearable Robotics srl develops high-performance exoskeletons for clinical and research purposes. Their products include the ALEX (Active Leg Exoskeleton) for gait rehabilitation and upper-limb systems. The company specializes in low-inertia robotic joints and advanced human-machine interfaces for neurological impairment recovery.
Motek
Motek (Motek Medical) develops high-end virtual reality and robotic systems for research and clinical rehabilitation. Their products, such as the C-Mill (robotic treadmill for balance and gait) and CAREN (Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment), provide integrated platforms for complex movement assessment and therapy. They focus on real-world simulation to enhance neuro-rehabilitation.
Panasonic
Panasonic conducts corporate research into ‘power assist’ technologies for logistics and healthcare. While specialized commercial exoskeleton activities were historically concentrated in its subsidiary ATOUN, the parent company maintains R&D in fabric actuators and sensor-based human assistance.
