In their words
All of our Trexo users have completed 60 million steps, which is enough to walk around the earth three times.
The vision of Trexo is to build the exoskeleton company of the world. We see a future where wearable robotic legs are not just beneficial for children with disabilities, but adults with disabilities, the elderly population.
I remember the first prototype I built, flew to India, tried it out with him — and it doesn't work. Motors are too underpowered, design flaws. The next morning I wake up, I'm watching videos of SpaceX rockets blowing up just to give myself some motivation.

Quick answers
Who is Manmeet Maggu?
The co-founder and CEO of Trexo Robotics. He studied mechatronics engineering at the University of Waterloo, and started the company after learning his nephew had cerebral palsy and finding that the exoskeletons on the market were built for adults.
What did he present at TechTO?
At TechTO's November 2023 event at Rotman he showed how the Trexo works — robotic legs strapped to a child's legs, controlled from a parent's tablet — and reported 60 million assisted steps taken, over 50 insurance reimbursement approvals, and clinical studies with the University of Calgary and the Institute of Health Economics.
