"Making Lifting Easier"
Virginia Tech spinout making passive lift-assist exoskeletons for workers; rebranded as Element Exo Inc.
Maroon Assistive Technologies (now rebranded as Element Exo Inc.) is a passive exoskeleton company founded in 2018 by members of the Virginia Tech Assistive Robotics Lab, headquartered in Blacksburg, Virginia, USA. The company commercializes lightweight lift-assist exoskeletons designed to reduce lower-back injury risks for warehouse, construction, and supply chain workers. The flagship device weighs under 5.5 lbs, requires no batteries or motors, and reduces muscle activity by 32%.
Co-founded by Tim Pote, Taylor Pesek, and Chris Pesek, the company originated through a collaboration with Lowe's Home Improvement and later rebranded to Element Exo to reflect commercial expansion.
