Wearable Robotics® operates in the service robotics sector, with a specific emphasis on utilizing wearable robots in industrial and medical settings. The company is dedicated to creating, manufacturing, and selling advanced wearable robotic devices. These devices are designed to be integrated with virtual reality systems, specifically for neuromotor rehabilitation, motor assistance, and force augmentation in medical and industrial environments.
The mission
Introduction
Vision
Our vision is to lead the wearable robotics market by offering cutting-edge robotic solutions that enhance sensorimotor functions, revolutionizing physical rehabilitation and support. Our mission is to implement cutting-edge robotic solutions that deliver top performance and quality for physical assistance and rehabilitation, pushing the boundaries of technology.
Clinical Collaborations and Certifications
In 2015, a multinational clinical study commenced for the medical evaluation of the products for stroke survivors’ motor rehabilitation in collaboration with EPFL, the University Hospital of Geneva, and the University Hospital of Pisa. Wearable Robotics obtained ISO 9001 certification in 2015 and collaborated with the Careggi Spinal Cord Unit to develop and test innovative lower limb exoskeletons for neurorehabilitation and paraplegic support. A project funded by Regione Toscana in 2016 enabled the design and development of the initial prototype of a lower limb exoskeleton for the elderly and disabled, concluding in October 2017.
Continued Achievements and Future Outlook
In 2019, Wearable Robotics acquired ISO 13485 for biomedical companies and obtained CE marks for both ALEX RS and ALEX S. A significant milestone was reached in 2022 with an agreement between Wearable Robotics and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna to definitively acquire a family of seven industrial patents, enhancing the company’s valuable intellectual property. The utilization of robotic devices in rehabilitation shows promise for restoring and relearning motor functions through high-intensity, repetitive, task-specific, and interactive treatments. Exoskeletons, wearable robotic devices for upper and lower extremities, have emerged as effective tools in neurorehabilitation by guiding limb movements, covering natural workspaces, and providing joint control.
