Humotech Portable Caplex System Prototype (2020) with Bilateral EXO-005s
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 […]
