Problem
Workers in physically demanding roles and patients with mobility‑limiting conditions often experience excessive fatigue, joint pain, and risk of injury due to limited human strength and endurance.
Solution
Roam Robotics offers a modular exoskeleton platform that provides up to twice the user's natural strength and 3.5 × greater endurance while maintaining full range of motion. The system integrates lightweight, ruggedized actuators powered by rechargeable MIL‑STD batteries and a smart power algorithm that supplies assistance only when needed, reducing exertion and joint stress. Its 3D‑printed aluminum structure and ergonomic back support enable a low‑profile fit for both field deployment and therapeutic use. The platform can be configured as a full‑body suit or a robotic knee brace, allowing customization for military operators or medical patients seeking pain reduction and mobility improvement.
Features
