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!
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.

The portable Caplex system incorporates two servo-motors and drives, real-time control hardware and I/O in a compact, consolidated package for high-performance actuation of Humotech or other cable-actuated end-effectors. BCK-001 is designed to either be worn with a backpack harness or set up on a table for benchtop use. We hope to empower researchers who wish […]

Accelerating Innovation in 2021
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.
At Humotech, we build wearable robotic systems that interact with humans as they move. We work with research and development groups to accelerate innovation, and discover new ways of helping people. Our typical system uses standard actuators, but we want people to be able to go outside. Which is why we made the backpack. Here […]
