Roam Robotics, a small business located in San Francisco, California, has developed a lightweight and inexpensive knee exoskeleton for applications in the health, military, and recreational sectors.

What makes Roam's technology very unique is implementing the use of lightweight inexpensive materials, soft robotics, and air pressure instead of heavier and expensive motors at the joints.
