Exoskeletons

Enhanced mobility

Exoskeletons are wearable devices that support or augment human physical capabilities, enabling improved mobility, reduced fatigue, or the restoration of lost functions—particularly for individuals with disabilities or undergoing rehabilitation. Initially developed in the 1960s for military and industrial applications, these technologies have evolved into medical and ergonomic tools that enhance daily life.

Today, exoskeletons incorporate advanced technologies such as mechatronics, electronics, robotics, motion sensors, artificial intelligence, and augmented reality. These systems interact seamlessly with the human body, allowing for more natural and controlled movements.

  • Exoskeletons have numerous applications in the medical field, especially in rehabilitation, where they help restore mobility for patients recovering from strokes, injuries, or trauma. They also play a key role in postoperative care by supporting functional recovery and reducing joint stress, facilitating a safer and faster return to movement.
  • In the industrial sector, these devices are increasingly used to improve worker safety and performance. By supporting repetitive or physically demanding tasks, exoskeletons help reduce musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and contribute to overall productivity in production lines and logistics environments.
  • In the military field, exoskeletons are designed to enhance soldiers’ physical capabilities. They make it easier to carry heavy loads, reduce muscle fatigue, and optimize endurance during field operations, providing a significant operational advantage in extreme conditions.

Exoskeletons open new possibilities in rehabilitation, workplace support, and physical performance enhancement. Tame-Care, as a subcontractor specialized in medical devices, supports project developers by delivering tailored, efficient, and compliant solutions with a focus on safety.

Our support

Designing an exoskeleton is a real challenge, both technically and from a regulatory standpoint.

It requires perfect synergy between the human body and the device, meeting several key criteria: optimal user comfort through ergonomic design, movement precision for smooth and natural interaction, and uncompromising safety and reliability to protect the user.

From a regulatory perspective, exoskeletons may be classified as medical devices (MDs), requiring CE marking, complete technical documentation, and compliance with ISO 13485 standards.

For non-medical devices, other requirements apply, particularly related to occupational safety and product certifications.

Finally, industrializing these devices is a major challenge. It involves balancing customization, low-volume production, specific components, and cost control, while implementing an agile and compliant production chain to ensure high-quality mass production.
