Today, we’re pleased to share with you a new format of exclusive interview with one of our longtime collaborators, Dr. Kota Takahashi, Associate Professor in the Department of Health and Kinesiology at the University of Utah. We recently outfitted the Sayu Lab for Biomechanics & Locomotion with a first-of-its-kind Caplex System including robotic ankle and pylon modules (PRO-002 and PRO-004, respectively).
Not Safe for Work: Reducing Pain and Injury With Exoskeletons
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.
How UNO is Pushing the Parameters of Exo and Prosthetic Research
Researchers at the University of Nebraska at Omaha are uncovering fundamental biomechanics principles to assist critical patient populations, and Humotech is helping.
The Bridge From Research to Patient Care
Researchers at the VA Center for Limb Loss and MoBility are improving the patient prescription process by bringing together research, clinician knowledge, and patient care.

Caplex EXO-005 is our new lightweight, high-performance tethered ankle exoskeleton. Its sleeker, form-fitting design accommodates more dynamic movement so you can explore your research questions at higher speeds, over uneven terrain, or even outdoors! (Spoiler alert: portable Caplex coming soon!)

When it comes to lower body biomechanics and assistive devices, research has often focused on foot and ankle function. This research inevitably raised new questions, leading to rising interest in how the hip functions (and malfunctions). Clearly, better understanding of the hip’s role is crucial to the efficacy of exoskeleton and prosthetic devices.
