Machines that move with you.
Stride is a lightweight powered exoskeleton – a wearable frame that shares the work of standing, balancing, and walking. You set the direction; the machine carries part of the effort, so more of your day is yours again.
A concept in development. Targeting 2030. Not yet a medical device.
Powered where it’s hardest – led by you.
Stride splits the work of moving between you and the frame. Four systems make that possible – each one a design goal we are actively proving, not a finished claim.
Shares the effort – LiftDrive
Standing up and stepping forward are the hardest moments for a tiring body. LiftDrive places powered actuators at the hips and knees to carry part of that load, so the effort is split between you and the frame. How much assistance, and how safely we can deliver it, is exactly what we are proving now – and we will publish real numbers as they firm up.
You lead, it follows – IntentSense
A good assistive machine should never drag you where you did not mean to go. IntentSense is designed to read how you shift your weight, lean, and set your pace, and to move Stride in sync with that intent. The goal is a frame that feels like an extension of you, not a motor with a mind of its own.
Steady on your feet – TrueBalance
Confidence comes from feeling stable. TrueBalance is the active stability layer meant to help you stay upright, ease sway, and gently correct a wobble before it turns into a stumble. It is designed to assist your balance – not to promise you will never fall, which no honest machine can.
Light enough to forget – FeatherFrame
Assistance you dread wearing is assistance you leave in the closet. FeatherFrame is a light carbon-composite frame with an adaptive fit designed to sit close and disappear on the body, so Stride is comfortable to put on in the morning and wear through the day, not just for a few minutes in a clinic.
It carries the part that’s heavy.
Powered hips and knees designed to share the effort of standing and each step.
Every exoskeleton lives or dies on the same question: can it put the right amount of force at the right joint, at the right instant, without ever fighting the person wearing it? LiftDrive is our answer for the lower body. Compact electric actuators sit at the hips and knees – the two joints that do the heavy lifting when you rise from a chair or push off into a step – and add torque in the same direction you are already moving. The intent is not to move you like a puppet, but to split the work, so a motion that had become exhausting becomes possible again.
The honest engineering problem is that assistance and safety pull against each other. More torque can mean more help, but also more risk if the timing is wrong; less torque is safer but may not be enough to matter. Getting that balance right – strong enough to be worth wearing, gentle enough to always be safe, efficient enough to last a useful part of a day – is the central reason Stride is framed as a concept targeting 2030 rather than a product we claim ships today. We would rather under-promise the assistance and earn your trust than overstate what a wearable motor can safely do.
The moments a little help changes everything.
Stride is designed for the everyday movement that shrinks a life when it gets hard – always used alongside your own care team, never instead of it.
Rising from a chair
The sit-to-stand moment is where LiftDrive is designed to help most – sharing the push so getting up is less of a battle and more of a decision.
Moving around the home
Kitchen to couch, room to room – the everyday distances that shrink a life. Stride is aimed at making those trips feel possible again, under your own direction.
Walking a little further
A path in the park, a block to a friend's door. The goal is to add reach and confidence to the walking you already do, at your own comfortable pace.
Alongside rehabilitation
Used with your care team, an assistive frame may support the repetition and upright time that rehab asks for. Stride is meant to work with your clinicians, never around them.
Standing with confidence
TrueBalance is designed to steady the moments of sway that make standing tiring or frightening, so being on your feet costs less worry.
Saving energy for the day
By carrying part of the effort of moving, Stride is designed to leave more of your energy for what you actually got up to do.
More of your day, back in your hands.
The point is not the machine. It is the trip to the kitchen, the walk to the door, the standing without asking for a hand.
Stride is designed to give back the small, ordinary distances that a tiring body slowly gives up – not by taking over, but by carrying part of the effort so the choice to move is yours again.
We are building it to be light enough to wear all day, calm enough to look like it belongs in a home, and honest about what it can and cannot do.
A grounded concept, told honestly.
Stride is a concept in active development, not a shipping medical device. We will show you the real progress – the hard parts included – and we will not promise a miracle to get your attention.
