A Personal Story

‍

Nicolas Simon, co-founder and chairman of the board of Wandercraft, watched his brother lose the ability to run, then ski, and finally walk and use his arms. He was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, also called hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy. Jean-Louis Constanza, another Wandercraft co-founder has a son living with the same disease. When given his first wheelchair at age 5, he asked: “Dad, you’re an engineer - why can’t you build me a robot to help me walk again?”

That inspired a fresh approach, a clean sheet design that diverged from the wheelchair – a device that dates back centuries. Wandercraft was founded to build a machine that could do what was still mostly in the realm of science fiction: to enable a person to stand up and walk.

The Personal Exoskeleton

‍

The Wandercraft Personal Exoskeleton is a pioneering device that uses artificial intelligence to offer a life-changing mobility solution for individuals with severe walking impairments. Equipped with 12 motors and advanced AI-powered self-balancing mechanisms, the Personal Exoskeleton allows users to walk in their homes, communities, and workplaces without needing mobility aids like crutches or walkers.

Designed for people with spinal cord injuries, stroke, and neuromuscular disorders, the Personal Exoskeleton leverages AI to create a highly personalized walking experience. By continuously adapting to the user’s real-time movements, the device can ensure smooth, stable walking across various surfaces, from indoor floors to outdoor terrain.

This adaptive capability addresses the specific needs of individuals by offering them greater mobility, independence, and confidence in their upright movements. But more than that, the Personal Exoskeleton is designed to help restore the simple joys of daily life—the ability to have a conversation at eye-level, have a full body hug, or even just reach for the book on the top shelf.

Testimonials

‍

· Charlotte Fairbank, wheelchair tennis Paralympian and Trained Wandercraft Test Pilot: “I can't move my legs at all. Wandercraft has enabled me to walk again. The health benefits it gives me – blood flow, bone density, just being able to stand up and feel better in my body, there is hope for us to be somehow walking again.”

· Bianca Johnson, JD, President of Push to Walk: "Seven years ago, my life changed when an accident left me paralyzed from the chest down. Since then, I’ve struggled to imagine life without mobility. But thanks to Wandercraft, that’s no longer my reality. For the first time in years, I can stand, I can walk, and I can reconnect with the world at eye level."

· Franco Molteni, MD, Clinical Director, Villa Beretta Rehabilitation Research Institute: “The upright position, combined with the freedom to move the upper limbs, which do not have to support the body in any way, will allow the person to reimagine social interaction.”
