Northern Arizona University researchers have introduced OpenExo, an open-source robotic exoskeleton framework designed to facilitate the development of mobility-assisting devices. By providing comprehensive, user-friendly guides and adaptable designs for single- and multi-joint exoskeletons, the platform lowers financial and technical barriers for researchers and developers in biomechanics and rehabilitation. OpenExo promises to accelerate innovation in assistive robotics, enabling personalized testing and customization critical for restoring independent walking capabilities among individuals with physical disabilities.
