Meet the Caplex® System

Design — Test — Then Build

 

With the Caplex® System, you can test ideas with real users first, then use data to build better solutions faster and with less risk.

 

Caplex® lets you explore different device behaviors without costly physical prototyping, helping you move from concept to insight in less time.

Caplex® provides a consistent, easy-to-use platform that supports rigorous experimentation and improves reproducibility across studies.

Caplex® gives you a starting point for device design so you can focus on innovation—like control strategies, mechanisms, and system performance—without rebuilding foundational hardware.

Caplex® enables rapid testing of device concepts by letting users experience different mechanical behaviors through a single system.

Clinical Caplex® is now available following years of development and clinical validation.

Full-Sized Caplex® System

The Full-Sized Caplex® System is a flexible platform for developing and testing wearable assistance, rehabilitation, and augmentation technologies. It uses off-board actuation and modular components to deliver high performance and adaptability.
Built from years of user feedback, Caplex® evolves with its growing community and supports fast extension without long custom development cycles.
Caplex® enables shared innovation across the field, helping advance more effective and accessible wearable robotics.

Small-Scale & Portable Caplex® Systems

The Small-Scale and Portable Caplex® Systems are compact platforms for developing and testing wearable assistance, rehabilitation, and augmentation technologies in space- and power-limited environments. The Small-Scale System is designed for the benchtop, and the Portable System is designed for a backpack.

 

They use off-board actuation and control powered through a standard wall outlet, delivering high performance in a smaller footprint. The Portable System includes an option for on-board battery power. Built on years of user feedback, these systems continue to evolve with a growing research community.

 

Using the same modular architecture as the Full-Sized Caplex® System, it can be quickly configured and extended to meet specific needs without long custom development cycles. If you're interested in one of these systems, please contact us with your performance requirements so we can offer a solution tailored to your needs.

Open Source Leg

The Open Source Leg (OSL) is a wearable robotics platform for developing and testing robotic ankle and knee control strategies in real-world environments, including overground and outdoor use.

It features onboard actuation and battery-powered control, delivering performance close to a product-like prosthetic leg while remaining fully customizable for research and development.
Built through collaboration between the University of Michigan, Humotech, and the open-source community, the platform continues to evolve through shared feedback and real-world use.
We aim to make advanced prosthetic research more accessible, easier to use, and more collaborative—supporting faster progress in robotic mobility systems.
