Nicolas Simon founded Wandercraft in 2012, a global leading deep tech company in autonomous walking exoskeletons that designs and markets exoskeleton robots enabling paraplegic individuals to walk again. The company’s mission is to fulfill the promises of walking robotics to assist people with disabilities in regaining their mobility by developing, manufacturing, and marketing autonomous walking exoskeletons.

 

Their exoskeletons, named Atalante, have been on the market since 2019 and are used in rehabilitation and neurology in Europe and the USA. In 2022, Wandercraft enabled 600 patients to take more than 3 million steps. Wandercraft is also developing a personal version of the exoskeleton for use in urban environments and at home. A graduate of École Polytechnique, Nicolas Simon underwent multidisciplinary scientific training before specializing in electrical engineering.
