US startup developing passive unpowered exoskeletons and prosthetic systems using the proprietary LUCAS tension-balancing mechanism.
Rake Technologies Inc is a Delaware-incorporated C-corporation and early-stage startup located in Winter Garden, Florida. The company is focused on developing exo-skeletal and prosthetic technologies, with a specific emphasis on passive (unpowered) wearable devices for physical assistance and rehabilitation.
The company's core technology is a proprietary passive exoskeletal system called LUCAS (Lower limb Unpowered Compliant Actuator System), which functions as a tension-balancing mechanism that mimics isometric muscle contractions and follows the user's movements throughout their natural range of motion. LUCAS acts as passive artificial muscle mass, providing support without requiring an external power source. This approach targets the fundamental challenge of making exoskeletons practical, affordable, and accessible — in contrast to powered exoskeleton systems, which tend to be expensive and mechanically complex.
Rake Technologies also develops system components for hybrid exo/orthotic and exo/prosthetic devices — configurations that combine passive exoskeletal structures with prosthetic limbs to expand the functional capabilities of users. The company's mission explicitly addresses three barriers that have limited mainstream exoskeleton adoption: usability complexity, high cost, and negative public perception. By focusing on passive mechanical design, Rake Technologies aims to deliver lower-cost, easier-to-wear solutions.
The company maintains a LinkedIn presence and is listed in the Exoskeleton Report's global directory of exoskeleton organizations. Its website at raketechnologies.carrd.co is a temporary Carrd.co landing page rather than a full product site, consistent with its early startup stage. Founder/engineer Evan R. is identified on LinkedIn as affiliated with Rake Technologies Inc.
