AssistMotion

AssistMotion is a Shinshu University spinout developing wearable robots and soft actuators for movement support. Its curara system is sold in two- and four-joint configurations for gait training and walking assistance, with a companion app that records walking data and adjusts training support.

The company also develops PVCGEL soft-actuator devices and applies its wearable-robot technology to older adults, rehabilitation and paediatric mobility. In August 2026 Kanagawa Prefecture selected its physical-AI assistive-robot project for development support of up to ¥15 million.
