French company Wandercraft, founded in 2012, has unveiled a battery-powered self-stablising personal exoskeleton that could help 30 million global wheelchair users to walk freely around their town or city.

The exoskeleton was unveiled during a live event in New York City on December 13th, 2023 with pre-orders opening in early 2024.

This builds on the company’s tethered model Atalante X, which is already used by hospitals in Europe and the USA, has 2 hours battery life, and costs around $176,000 each.
