A team from the Biomechatronic Lab at Northern Arizona University (NAU) has developed OpenExo - the world’s first comprehensive open-source exoskeleton framework. The system, which is now freely available online, provides all the instructions, code and design files needed to build a working exoskeleton.
The framework includes step-by-step guides for constructing either single- or multi-joint exoskeletons. This allows researchers, developers and clinicians around the world to build upon existing designs rather than starting from scratch — a process that is often expensive and technically demanding.
