Bexo

A lightweight powered back exosuit for people who lift all day. It started as research at Georgia Tech's EPIC Lab and is now the product my startup, ARMOR, is building.

  1. The problem

    Lifting and loading are some of the most common ways people hurt their backs at work. Do it all day, every day, and it adds up.

  2. What Bexo is

    A lightweight powered back exosuit. You wear it, and it takes load off your back as you lift, with no changes to the way you already work.

  3. Where it came from

    Bexo began as a research project at Georgia Tech's EPIC Lab, where I led the project as an undergraduate researcher.

  4. Now

    Bexo left the lab with me. At ARMOR we are building it for people who lift for a living, alongside Shield, which turns wearable sensor data into live posture scores.
