The AugmentX Research Lab will be the place for research into cutting-edge technologies that enhance human capabilities, like exoskeletons and collaborative robots. Our lab is equipped with state-of-the-art tools such as the Vicon motion capture system (MOCAP), force plates, electromyographic measurement devices, IMU sensors, and more. But we don't stop at research and measurement. We also offer workshops and related services focused on exoskeletons and collaborative robots. Our aim is to drive the advancement of these technologies, ultimately benefiting humanity by improving physical support and assistance.
