SBIR-STTR Award

Development of a low cost, lightweight lower-limb assistive device that provides assistive torque at the knee joint using compliant pneumatic actuators. This device would allow warfighters who have sustained lower extremity musculoskeletal injuries resul

This proposal is designed to extend Roam's current wearable robot capabilities into SOF-specific applications. To accomplish this, this project is designed to develop and validate the base requirements of a wearable system to meet SOF peculiar mission sets through system evaluation, design refinement, and voice of the customer capture. Within this project, we will target specific user populations with targeted use cases in the Maritime, Arctic, and Health areas. We will also look to validate other critical design requirements for this technology through testing and design refinement to set the stage for future extended use by operators.
