Recent highlights

Human in Motion Robotics’ clearest commercial milestone was the June 5, 2025 delivery of its first clinical XoMotion exoskeleton to Synaptic Health, marking its entry into a Canadian rehabilitation setting. In August 2026, XoMotion was described as available for sale in Canada and in use at rehabilitation centers; the associated product coverage also emphasized hands-free standing and walking for people with mobility impairments. The company received a CAD $3 million grant (about US$2.19 million) on May 11, 2026, with Pacific Economic Development Canada identified as lead. Earlier milestones include selection for the Mobility Unlimited Hub’s second cohort, announced August 6, 2025, and a TAG Award for MedTech Innovation for XoMotion on May 22, 2025. XoMotion also received a CES 2025 Innovation Award, announced in November 2024. These developments indicate progress across recognition, clinical delivery, and commercialization, but public details on sales volume, clinical outcomes, and deployment scale remain limited.
