Explore insights from Humotech on wearable robotics, prosthetics, exoskeleton, and clinical innovation. Learn how data-driven mobility technology is shaping research, patient outcomes, and the future of assistive devices.
As we dive into 2023, the Humotech team is reflecting upon 2022 as a year of significant growth and exciting internal improvements. The Pittsburgh region has increasingly been spotlighted, and we’re especially thankful for the help from our friends at the Pittsburgh Robotics Network, Pittsburgh Technology Council, Going Deep with Aaron Watson…
At Humotech, our mission is both as ambitious as it is broad: to transform the development and use of wearable machines. And for the record, we’re not wavering on that. The company was founded on initial research that showed the game-changing capabilities of robotic emulation technology to the field of wearable devices – and the notion that we could bring this technology to market and make it accessible to anyone who wants to use it.
The constant state of rapid change in the world has certainly kept things interesting at Humotech in 2021. It has inspired us to become more agile and double down on our commitment to teamwork and collaboration. That said, we’re pleased to share our second annual year in review with you. Read on for our proudest accomplishments and plans for the year ahead!
The open-source, artificially intelligent prosthetic leg designed by researchers at the University of Michigan will be brought to the research market by Humotech, a Pittsburgh-based assistive technology company.
The goal of the collaboration is to speed the development of control software for robotic prosthetic legs, which have the potential to provide the power and natural gait of a human leg to prosthetic users.
In today’s workforce status quo, certain jobs inevitably come with a higher risk for bodily injury. Warehouse operators, construction workers, health care workers, agricultural workers, and many essential jobs require lifting, bending, and repetitive movement that can strain the back and body.
Humotech now offers a completely portable robotic emulation system to assist the research and development of wearable assistive devices. Introducing the BCK-001 Portable Caplex System – a compact, lightweight version of Caplex that can be worn as a backpack inside or outside of the lab, or mounted for benchtop operation.
We are always working on improving the Caplex system and crafting a better user experience, and Humotech’s Q2 software release delivers on both. During the past few years we’ve been focused on streamlining the operator experience, leading in part to several upgrades to the GUI in our earlier software releases. The GUI gets some additional TLC this time around, but our 2021 Q2 release ushers in a series of major improvements to Humotech’s core competency: our controllers.
We’re excited to now offer two new wearable devices in Humotech’s suite of Caplex™ products: the PRO-002, our first modular ankle-foot prosthesis derived from PRO-001, and an enhanced EXO-001 ankle exoskeleton, now with an expanded size range and other refinements.
Researchers at the University of Nebraska at Omaha are uncovering fundamental biomechanics principles to assist critical patient populations, and Humotech is helping.
Where we’ve been, where we’re going. Here’s a quick look at last year’s wins and some of the most exciting things Humotech is unleashing this year.
