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.

Side-to-side leg movement is important in walking, but most exoskeletons only assist sagittal motions.
Our new hip exo has control of both flexion-extension and ad/abduction torques, which we’ll use to study balance. w/ Vince Chiu & @MichaelRaitor in TMRB.
Let the pilot testing fun begin! ?
After being in lockdown for what feels like eternity, it’s finally time to play with these @humotech ankle exoskeletons!
This #MemorialDay, as we honor those who gave their lives defending our country…
We’re turning our spotlight on our collaborators in testing and evaluation of the prosthetic foot emulator at the DoD’s Center for the Intrepid (CFI).
