Biomotum
Biomotum develops wearable robotic systems to assist individuals with movement disorders. Their flagship product, the SPARK, is a robotic exoskeleton designed to provide powered assistance at the ankle joint. It is intended for both pediatric and adult gait rehabilitation, focusing on clinical and home-based recovery.
Kinetic
Kinetic develops wearable technology to prevent workplace injuries. Their flagship device, the Reflex, is a sensor-based wearable that detects high-risk movements such as improper lifting or twisting and provides real-time haptic biofeedback to the user. The system also tracks ergonomics data for safety managers to identify high-risk areas in logistics and manufacturing operations.
Hylite
Hylite Robotics develops wearable systems designed to reduce physical strain in demanding labor environments. Their focus is on creating lightweight, affordable exoskeletons that support the back and shoulders during lifting and overhead tasks. They utilize mechanical and hybrid assist technologies to optimize worker safety and comfort.
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.
Bioventus (Bioness)
Bioness, now part of Bioventus, develops wearable functional electrical stimulation (FES) systems. Their primary products, the L300 Go and H200 Wireless, are wearable devices designed to improve mobility for patients with foot drop or hand impairments resulting from stroke, MS, or TBI. These systems utilize stimulation to activate muscles, integrated into low-profile wearable orthoses.
Saebo
Saebo is a manufacturer of rehabilitation equipment for patients with neurological impairments such as stroke. Their products include the SaeboGlove, a low-profile tension-based glove that assists with finger extension, and the SaeboFlex, a high-profile orthosis for functional task training. The company integrates wearable orthoses with electrical stimulation and virtual reality to improve recovery outcomes.
Rise Robotics
Rise Robotics develops the ‘Rise Cylinder’, a high-efficiency linear actuator designed to replace hydraulics in heavy-duty applications. Their technology is used to power industrial-grade exoskeletons and heavy machinery, providing significant energy savings and high power-to-weight ratios. The company focuses on the ‘Enabling Technology’ segment of the exoskeleton market.
Dephy
Dephy develops powered ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) and exoskeletons aimed at enhancing human performance and assisting with mobility impairments. Their ‘Ankle Boot’ is a self-contained, powered system designed for gait assistance and load carriage, utilizing advanced actuators and controls developed through university-led research (MIT).
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.
Myolyn
Myolyn develops wearable and stationary devices that combine Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) with mechanical support. Their MyoCycle allows individuals with paralysis to pedal a bike using their own muscles. They also focus on FES technology for gait assistance, targeting patients with SCI, MS, and stroke to improve functional movement and overall health.
