Unlimited Tomorrow
US company developing TrueLimb, an affordable custom 3D-printed multi-articulating bionic prosthetic arm for people with upper limb differences.
Unlimited Tomorrow is a US prosthetics technology company founded on February 12, 2014, by Easton LaChappelle and Tony Robbins. LaChappelle, who began building robotic arms as a teenager in Colorado and earned second place in engineering at the International Science Fair in 2012, co-founded the company after an encounter with a young girl at a science fair who was using an $80,000 prosthetic device that offered limited functionality and would be outgrown within a year. That experience defined the company's core mission: delivering personalized, high-performance prosthetic limbs at a price accessible to a broad population.
The company's flagship product, TrueLimb, was introduced in 2019 and is described as the industry's first lightweight, affordable, multi-articulating prosthetic limb with a realistic appearance. TrueLimb is priced under $8,000, compared to conventional myoelectric prosthetics that can cost $80,000 or more. The fitting process is conducted remotely: customers receive a 3D scanner to capture the geometry of their residual limb, and Unlimited Tomorrow uses those scans to 3D-print a custom prosthetic shell from durable PA12 nylon matched to the user's skin tone, selecting from approximately 450 color options. The device incorporates TrueSense technology, which embeds more than 30 topographical sensors in the socket to detect subtle muscle movements and deliver responsive control, along with haptic vibration feedback when the hand contacts objects.
Unlimited Tomorrow raised $1.6 million through crowdfunding in under 30 days during 2018 to fund its production line, and has since partnered with manufacturers including ABCorp to scale production of the prosthetic limbs. The company operates in the intersection of additive manufacturing, wearable technology, and human-machine interfaces, and has been featured in coverage by Forbes and Advanced Manufacturing. It is headquartered in the United States and distributes its products through a direct-to-consumer remote fitting model.

Soft Exosuit Increases Arm Mobility by 80-180% for Patients with Brachial Plexus Injuries
A team from the BioRobotics Institute of Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna, University of Turin, and CTO Hospital in Turin has developed a soft exosuit that significantly enhances arm mobility for patients with chronic brachial plexus injuries (BPI). The exosuit, weighing approximately 0.6 kg, was tested on 14 patients, resulting in an 80% to 180% increase in active range of motion and a 160% improvement in static endurance. This advancement is crucial as BPI often leads to severe loss of sensation and motor control in the upper limb, primarily affecting young males under 30, with motorcycle accidents being the leading cause. The exosuit employs soft pneumatic actuators to assist shoulder and elbow movements, providing a novel solution that addresses the critical joint often overlooked in previous wearable robotics. Future developments in this technology could further enhance rehabilitation for BPI patients. The study's findings indicate that the exosuit not only improves mobility but also reduces the effort required for movement, as evidenced by a significant decrease in muscle activity during use.

Nanyang Technological University Develops MMG-Driven Variable Stiffness Glove for Tremor Control
Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has unveiled a variable stiffness glove driven by mechanomyography (MMG) to suppress tremors associated with conditions like Parkinson's disease. This innovative wearable device utilizes a 3D-printed exoskeleton structure that adjusts its stiffness in response to detected muscle vibrations, providing support only when tremors occur. The significance of this development lies in its ability to enhance daily activities for individuals suffering from tremors without compromising joint flexibility. The glove's design incorporates a lightweight, high-strength nylon structure that can quickly transition from soft to rigid, ensuring optimal performance during tremor episodes. The research findings have been accepted for publication in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters. Looking ahead, the team aims to further validate the glove's effectiveness in real-world applications. The rapid response time of the device, achieving 90% of maximum stiffness in approximately 0.63 seconds, positions it as a promising solution for tremor suppression.

VUB Leads RESSORT Project to Enhance Soft Robots with Sensing and Adaptation Capabilities
Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) is spearheading the RESSORT project, a four-year initiative funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe program. This project aims to advance soft robotics by enabling these robots to sense, repair, and adapt to their environments, with applications in healthcare, food handling, and industrial inspection. The significance of RESSORT lies in its potential to transform soft robots into more sustainable and reliable solutions. By integrating innovative technologies such as self-healing materials and variable-stiffness structures, the project seeks to overcome existing limitations that have kept soft robots primarily in laboratory settings. This advancement could lead to safer interactions with humans and delicate objects. Looking ahead, RESSORT plans to develop three demonstrators to validate its technologies in real-world scenarios. One key application is a personalized soft exosuit for rehabilitation, designed to provide tailored support to patients. The project also aims to create an adaptive robotic system for the food industry, enhancing the ability to handle fragile products effectively.

New Muscle-Sensing Technology Poised to Transform $1.6 Billion Exoskeleton Market
The exoskeleton market in China is projected to exceed 1.6 billion yuan by 2025, with approximately 26,000 units expected to be shipped annually. The medical rehabilitation sector remains the primary market driver, while consumer applications account for over 70% of shipments. Industries such as logistics, automotive manufacturing, energy, and emergency rescue are also beginning to adopt exoskeleton technology. Despite the growing sales of exoskeletons, a fundamental challenge persists: these devices can enhance human strength but often lack the ability to accurately gauge the user's exertion levels. Recent research from the University of Queensland introduces a solution by employing ultra-wideband radar (UWB) technology to measure muscle force without invasive procedures. This advancement offers a more direct method of assessing muscle exertion compared to traditional electromyography (EMG) techniques. As the field evolves, the integration of UWB technology could significantly improve the functionality of exoskeletons, making them more responsive to the user's actual physical output. Future developments in this area will be crucial to enhancing the effectiveness of rehabilitation and training applications. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
