XoMotion

  • Self-Balancing & Hands-Free
  • Complex Walking Motions
  • Superior Postural Control

Different by Design

Different by Design

XoMotion™ is a next generation exoskeleton platform designed for individuals with lower extremity motor deficits.

It’s the first device of its kind to mimic the physiological motion of the lower extremity, giving the user the ability to perform all complex mobility tasks.

XoMotion’s advanced sensor systems and multi-modal controllers allow the user to quickly gain hands-free functionality, providing an unprecedented level of freedom and independence.

XoMotion™ is not yet cleared by FDA.

Ambulatory Training

Available at rehabilitation centers in early 2025, XoMotion-R is designed to revolutionize how clinicians retrain spinal cord patients to stand upright and walk.

Therapeutic Recovery

A future version of the XoMotion™ platform will serve a broader group of users seeking therapeutic benefit, including stroke and other neurological conditions.

Personal Mobility

XoMotion™ will ultimately be available for daily, personal use, for individuals to independently perform mobility tasks at home and in their community.

Our Story

Leading with Purpose

Leading with Purpose

Inspired to overcome the limitations of existing, non-self-balancing exoskeletons, longtime academic collaborators Dr. Park and Dr. Arzanpour joined forces in 2014 to develop the next generation of exoskeleton technology.

Following the creation of early self-balancing prototypes at Simon Fraser University, Human in Motion Robotics was formed in 2016 to pursue commercialization of the XoMotion™ Platform as well as other innovative robotic healthcare solutions.

HMR received Series A funding with lead investor, Korean-based Beno Holdings, in 2023 to scale operations and accelerate product development to pursue regulatory clearance of the XoMotion™ platform.

Building a team of talented engineers, medical experts and management professionals at our offices in Vancouver, Canada and Seoul, South Korea, HMR is now poised to deliver market leading robotic solution to help improve the lives of millions of people around the world.

Chloë’s story is integral to the HMR Mission.

After a sudden medical event in 2015 left Chloë permanently paralyzed, she began a search to regain her mobility. A Vancouver resident, Chloë discovered the team developing XoMotion right in her own backyard.

Chloë has been an inspiration and an integral part of the team ever since. Her pursuit of independence and mobility embodies the “why” of HMR and serves as a beacon of hope for all that seek to regain their upright standing and walking function.

The Team

HMR is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada and has offices serving the APAC region in Seoul, South Korea.

Our team of engineers, medical professionals, and management experts are focused on bringing innovative and life changing technologies to the healthcare and robotics markets.

Guided by a user-centric product development process, our team is focused on providing solutions that have measurable value to the patients, users and health systems we serve.

HMR cultivates a culture of innovation, collaboration, and inclusion to build an organization that is changing what’s possible in the emerging healthcare robotics industry.
