AI exoskeleton gives wheelchair users the freedom to walk again

[FoxNews] For Caroline Laubach, being a Wandercraft test pilot is about more than just trying out new technology. It's about reclaiming a sense of freedom and connection that many wheelchair users miss. Laubach, a spinal stroke survivor and full-time wheelchair user, has played a key role in demonstrating the personal AI-powered prototype exoskeleton's development, and her experience highlights just how life-changing this device can be.

"When I'm in the exoskeleton, I feel more free than I do in my daily life," said Laubach. "It gives me the opportunity to walk around and talk to people at eye level. I don't have to look up at people all the time.

"It makes me feel more visible and able to connect with others. One thing I noticed right away, was how inclusive the exoskeleton would be to a wide variety of disabilities. The goal is to have disabled people able to use this exoskeleton to live their daily life out in the world; I can definitely see that happening in the future."

Laubach's story is at the heart of Wandercraft's mission: to help people move through the world with greater walking independence and upright mobility.
