0Abstract
In 2014, MIT researchers (now Dephy co-founders) developed and published the first autonomous device to improve walking efficiency. Since then, Dephy’s ExoBoot system has been shown to reduce metabolic consumption, increase speed, and mitigate load carriage. User testing has confirmed that the ExoBoot is comfortable to wear, easy to don/doff and requires no training. Onboard artificial intelligence (AI) quickly adapts to each user’s unique walking patterns and feels like a normal boot when unpowered.
