Startup Vision

We aim to create Human-Assistive Robotics — affordable and intelligent robotic systems that restore independence, safety, and dignity to people with mobility challenges.Our approach fuses practical mechanical design with accessible AI to make our technology both smart and reliable, making advanced mobility tools accessible to everyone, not just the privileged few.

The Problem

Traditional mobility aids like crutches, walkers, and wheelchairs are outdated. They cause discomfort, demand physical effort, and fail on uneven terrains such as slopes and stairs. Advanced prosthetics and robotic aids exist, but their cost and complexity make them inaccessible for the majority, especially in developing countries. This leaves millions of elderly and disabled individuals dependent, unsafe, and underserved.

The Solution

Our first step is Robotic Crutches — intelligent walking aids that self-adjust to height and terrain, monitor balance, and prevent slips. With sensors and AI-powered gait analysis, these crutches adapt to individual walking styles while remaining lightweight and affordable. They give users safer, more comfortable mobility and and serve as the first step toward our ultimate goal of developing prosthetics, exoskeletons, and other robotic aids to empower daily living.

Value Proposition

• For Patients & Elderly: Greater independence and safety.
• For Families & Caregivers: Peace of mind through smart support.
• For Healthcare: Rehabilitation tools that enhance recovery.
  

Expanding Our Impact:

• Restoring Limbs: Engineering affordable, modular robotic arms and legs.

• Augmenting Strength: Building exoskeletons for workforce support and physical therapy.

• Enabling Navigation: Creating smart wheelchairs that can avoid obstacles and navigate independently.

• Recovering Function: Designing a robotic glove to restore grip strength for stroke patients.
  
  
  

In robotics projects, many of us face the same problem: we design or collect data in Windows (using tools like Excel, MATLAB, or CAD), but when we want to use that data in ROS on Ubuntu, the transfer is messy. Right now, people usually export files (like CSV/JSON) and copy them manually. Sometimes we use shared folders or third-party tools, but they often break or don’t work in real time. This wastes time and slows down projects.

My idea is to create a ROS Data Bridge – a simple tool that allows real-time data transfer between Windows and Ubuntu.

From Windows :  Send paths, coordinates, or sensor data directly into ROS topics.

From Ubuntu : Send robot logs or sensor readings back to Windows for easy viewing in Excel or MATLAB.

This would save hours of manual work and make the workflow much smoother.

It benefits   1)Students and researchers  as they don't need to waste time on repeated file conversions.

                   2) Engineers for faster testing and debugging.

                   3) Universities/companies – better collaboration across mixed Windows + Ubuntu systems.

This matters to me because as a mechatronics student, I keep switching between Windows and Ubuntu for my projects. It’s frustrating to copy files again and again just to test something in ROS. A direct bridge will make robotics simpler, faster, and more fun to work on.
