Human In Motion Robotics :: Next-Generation Self-Balancing Exoskeleton Technology

Human In Motion Robotics (HMR) is a Canadian medical robotics company founded in 2016 and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. The company specializes in developing next-generation self-balancing exoskeleton technology for individuals with lower extremity motor deficits, particularly those with spinal cord injuries. Their flagship platform, XoMotion™, represents a significant advancement over traditional exoskeletons by enabling natural, hands-free, and complex walking motions with superior postural control.

Unlike conventional exoskeletons that rely on crutches or walkers for balance, XoMotion™ uses advanced sensor systems and multi-modal controllers to provide true self-balancing and upright mobility. This allows users to perform complex movements such as walking, turning, and navigating real-world environments with greater independence and freedom. The system is designed to mimic physiological human motion, offering a more natural gait and improved user experience.

Key robot-based product:

• XoMotion™ Platform: A wearable robotic exoskeleton focused on ambulatory training and therapeutic recovery. The current version (XoMotion-R) is intended for clinical rehabilitation centers and is designed for spinal cord injury patients. It accommodates users from 5’0” to 6’4” in height and up to 220 lbs, features easily adjustable fitting, continuous operation with hot-swappable batteries, and an open control platform for research collaboration. Future versions are planned for broader therapeutic use (e.g., stroke recovery) and personal daily mobility.

The company is actively conducting clinical trials and research partnerships. XoMotion™ has received recognition, including a CES 2025 Innovation Award, and was showcased at the Invictus Games 2025. Human In Motion is backed by Series A funding led by Korean-based Beno Holdings and continues to expand its clinical and research footprint.
