World’s most advanced exoskeleton developed in BC

Exoskeleton technology has been developed by researchers at Simon Fraser University (SFU) who hope to offer people living with mobility challenges a chance to experience free and independent movement.

The exoskeleton, known as XoMotion, took decades to research and design and is the product of an SFU spin-off company, Human in Motion Robotics (HMR).

SFU professors Siamak Arzanpour and Edward Park wanted to help people with motion disabilities to walk freely, naturally and independently. According to the team, the exoskeleton is now the most advanced of its kind in the world.
