Wandercraft: Meet the French tech company building an exoskeleton to help wheelchair users walk
A French tech company called Wandercraft is developing a cutting-edge exoskeleton enabling wheelchair users to walk.
“Wandercraft: Meet the French tech company building an exoskeleton to help wheelchair users walk”
Kevin Piette lost the use of his legs 10 years ago after a road accident, and while most of the time he uses a wheelchair to get around, some days he puts on an exoskeleton that allows him to stand up autonomously, walk and do the most simple tasks.
It was out of the question for the 33-year-old to stay stuck on the sofa all day. Piette threw himself into motorsports for several years, which eventually led to his introduction to Wandercraft, a French exoskeleton company that offers wearers the ability to walk with the assistance of a robot.
The company was looking for an exo-skeleton pilot – and hired Piette as their tester.
