Humotech Is Transforming Wearable Device Development

Humotech is a Pittsburgh, PA, startup enabling researchers and developers to build and fine-tune the next generation of wearable devices. The Caplex system is a wearable, programmable robot designed to help people develop wearable devices, such as exoskeletons, prostheses, and orthotics. The platform allows users to systematically vary the behavior of a single device, giving the user the physical sensation of wearing a variety of devices while wearing just one. The team uses a combination of MATLAB^® and Speedgoat^® tools for their development including rapid prototyping and real-time control of the system.

As part of the MathWorks Startup Program, Humotech has access to MATLAB at a startup-friendly price and engineering support from MathWorks experts, which enables them to research projects, develop prototypes, and bring their products to production.
