After raising €40m at the end of 2021, the leader in walking robotics is starting a new phase of international growth.

Our goal: to give people with reduced mobility the ability to stand up and walk again. We are realising the promise of robotics to offer ordinary lives to extraordinary people. To this end, we have created Atalante, the walking exoskeleton that enables paraplegics and hemiplegics to walk again. Used for locomotor rehabilitation in hospitals, Atalante is the first exoskeleton in the world capable of generating its own balance, without the wearer having to stabilise himself with crutches. Every day, Atalante helps patients get out of their wheelchairs and walk, in France and across Europe.

Thanks to the lessons learned at Atalante, we are developing a personal exoskeleton that will enable people to regain their independence at home, in the street, in their daily lives... With this personal version, Wandercraft aims to change the lives of millions of people for the better.

This extraordinary project is being carried out by a team united by one ambition: to improve the daily lives of people with reduced mobility. We work in a supportive, caring and agile environment. Each member of the Wanderteam brings this excitement and passion for what robotics can do for people.

From the heart of Paris and New York, we work with the best university laboratories and leading medical teams in Europe and the USA.
