Providing innovative solutions to
powered human assistance.

SpringActive, Inc. specializes in providing innovative solutions to powered human assistance. Wearable human assistance robots must be transparent to the user. This is accomplished through designs that are safe, lightweight, efficient, and intuitive to use. For prostheses, the robotic device that is replacing function must behave as an extension of the user's own body. In most cases, passive prosthetic devices do not return the user to able-bodied functional levels. For example, it is impossible for a passive prosthetic ankle to return enough energy for a fully powered step.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for the mobility challenged. We will accomplish our mission by utilizing our more than 20 years of experience in engineering fields like electronics, mechanics, computer science, and biomechanics to develop a new generation of robotic prosthetic and orthotic devices. Being part of the original group of researchers that pioneered the concept of compliant actuation allows us to create optimized devices that are safe, lightweight and responsive.
