The Amplify hybrid, non-medical exoskeleton began as a kinetic energy harvester, generating electricity from the natural action of walking in much the same way regenerative braking works in hybrid cars. Soldiers around the world carry huge amounts of heavy batteries to power their devices. Bionic Power’s goal with our harvesters was to enable soldiers to carry less batteries, recharge existing batteries, extend mission times and reduce logistics. But we thought we could do even better.

After partially going back to the drawing board to add new features, the Amplify now also provides endurance augmentation to reduce fatigue. Whether you are a soldier marching to a battlefront, or a Search and Rescue volunteer hiking to the rescue, a long-distance hiker or someone who just needs a boost, the Amplify will be able to assist you by augmenting your step, providing a source of electricity, and in some cases reducing the weight you carry.

Once fully developed, the Amplify’s technology may serve as the platform for the next version of the Agilik medical device, which would serve a larger population with various conditions that affect their gait and assist the elderly to Stand Taller and Walk Stronger.
