Mica
Mica Robotics develops ergonomic wearable systems focused on industrial load reduction. Their primary product is a passive back-support exoskeleton designed to assist workers in logistics and manufacturing with repetitive lifting and bending. They emphasize a slim, lightweight design to minimize interference with daily industrial tasks.
Harmonic Drive
Harmonic Drive develops and manufactures high-precision gear systems and servo actuators. Their strain wave gears (often called ‘Harmonic Drives’) are an industry standard for robotic joint actuation due to their high torque density and zero-backlash characteristics. They provide enabling technology for high-end medical and industrial exoskeletons where precise positioning and weight reduction are critical.
MOTOmed (RECK)
RECK-Technik developed the MOTOmed series, a world-leading range of motorized movement therapy devices. While functionally cycle-based trainers, they are integrated into the clinical neuro-rehabilitation ecosystem alongside exoskeletons. They provide passive, motor-assisted, and active resistance training for patients with neurological and orthopedic impairments.
Made for Movement
