Human in Motion Robotics

Effort on the design of a next-generation exoskeleton was begun by the vision of Dr. Siamak Arzanpour and Dr. Edward Park in 2014 to create a breakthrough in current exoskeleton technology that empowers individuals with motion disabilities to walk freely, naturally, and independently. They first met each other in 2001, as graduate students working in the same lab at the University of Toronto.

A decade later, as professors at Simon Fraser University in British Columbia, Canada, they brought together a highly talented group of students, end-users, therapists, and organizations to bring the dream to reality. In 2016, they co-founded Human in Motion Robotics Inc. and took the technology out of their research lab to improve the quality of life of millions of people around the world.
