About Humotech

Humotech (Human Motion Technology) is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based wearable robotics innovation company that develops emulation platforms and testing systems for prosthetics, orthotics, exoskeletons, and mobility devices. Founded in 2015 as a Carnegie Mellon University spin-off, the company has deployed over 40 systems globally with 10+ patents issued or filed and 13+ years of operational experience. Their flagship Caplex System is a revolutionary emulation platform that allows researchers to emulate wearable device mechanics and test concepts with human users before physical prototyping—a paradigm-shifting approach that enables rapid development cycles by allowing researchers to modify mechanical parameters digitally without physical redesign. The product line includes full-sized, small-scale, and portable Caplex configurations, lower limb prostheses, ankle and hip exoskeletons, actuator units, transmissions, control hardware, software, the Open Source Leg, prosthetic testing rigs, and custom development services. Humotech has partnered with over 70 organizations including Stanford, MIT-affiliated labs, Georgia Tech, Carnegie Mellon, the U.S. Army, VA medical system, and the U.S. Department of Defense. Their customer base spans academia, government agencies, healthcare institutions, and commercial companies working across biomechanics research, prosthetics development, and worker safety applications. The company operates from the U-PARC research center in Harmarville, Pennsylvania, with deployments across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Founded by Josh Caputo (CEO), Humotech continues to advance the field of wearable robotics by providing the tools researchers need to accelerate innovation in human mobility assistance.
