Overview

ZeroG is a robotic body-weight support system that safely promotes walking overground, functional activities, balance, and fall prevention training in a ‘reduced gravity’ environment. This system intelligently tracks patient movements, providing just the right amount of support to ensure safety without limiting mobility.

Engineering Excellence: The Design Journey of ZeroG

One of the significant challenges we tackled was the engineering complexity of stacking vacuum-formed parts, typically avoided due to variability in thickness and alignment. Our team collaborated with vendors and employed meticulous engineering techniques to ensure that all components fit together perfectly, maintaining both form and function. The result is a robust and reliable device that stands at the forefront of rehabilitation technology.

Designing Freedom: The Evolution of ZeroG

Our collaboration with Aretech began at the earliest stages of the third generation of ZeroG, allowing us to integrate our design and engineering expertise seamlessly. We focused on creating a low-profile, lightweight encasement that houses the motor and mechanisms while maintaining the sleek, high-tech aesthetic Aretech desired. By leveraging advanced vacuum forming and pressure molding techniques, we crafted a design that is not only functional but also visually striking, reminiscent of high-performance sports cars.
