ABLE Human Motion is a medical device start-up based in Barcelona that was born with a clear mission: enabling mobility, for everyone. We design, develop and will commercialize innovative exoskeleton technology to empower every person in a wheelchair by providing greater mobility and independence.The company, which is a spin-off from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), was founded by Alfons Carnicero, Alex Garcia, and Josep M. Font in October 2018, after several years of research and development by the UPC Biomechanical Engineering Lab.Our first product is the ABLE Exoskeleton, a wearable robotic exoskeleton that actively assists paraplegic individuals to stand up, walk and sit down. This lightweight, accessible and easy to use exoskeleton aims to provide clinicians with a tool to increase the efficiency of rehabilitation, and users with a solution that boosts daily ambulation while empowering them in the community. The device has been tested in leading rehabilitation institutions such as Heidelberg Univ. Hospital and Institut Guttmann. We have a team of curious, fearless, humble and fun people that are crazy enough to think they can change the world. And it seems to be working, as the company has been recognized as the Best European Robotics Startup and winner of the Toyota Startup Awards "Mobility for All" competition. Together we are building a cutting-edge technology company to turn disability into ABILITY.
