High-performance robotic prostheses and exoskeletons for research, development, rehabilitation, and evaluation.
About us
High-performance robotic prostheses and exoskeletons for research, development, rehabilitation, and evaluation. Humotech’s Caplex™ system gives you the freedom to explore, experiment, and innovate with less risk and shorter development time. With Caplex, you test your ideas first, then build. Caplex is a programmable, high-performance system that lets you emulate the real-world physical characteristics of the device or concept you’re evaluating. Unlike a simulation, the user has the physical sensation of wearing different assistive devices (or device modes) while using just one device; they don’t have to switch devices. The devices are lightweight and wearable, because our powerful (and heavy) robotic components are located off-board; users don’t have to carry bulky prototype hardware while they’re testing the device.
