XoMotion created by SFU researchers to be world’s most advanced exoskeleton for mobility challenged

XoMotion is a state-of-the-art robotic exoskeleton created during a decade of research and it is the product of an SFU spin off company, Human in Motion Robotics Inc.

The device allows individuals with mobility disabilities to stand up and walk on their own without additional support. XoMotion maintains its stability and simultaneously encompasses all the ranges of motion and degrees of freedom needed for users to self-balance, walk, sidestep, climb stairs and crouch. Engineering science professors, Siamak Arzanpour and Edward Park began began work on the device in 2014 with a vision to enhance exoskeleton technology and empower individuals with mobility challenges to have more options for movement.
