One company is calling a recent achievement “a testament to the power of innovation,” but Trexo Robotics wants you to know there is more to this story.
The company produces mobility solutions for people with disabilities and is more enthused about a recent milestone that actually involves its users. Trexo says that, using its robotic legs, children have officially walked more than 100 million steps —the equivalent of circling the globe five times.
According to company co-founder and CTO Rahul Udasi, 100 million steps was never something the company had defined as a specific goal. Rather, they hoped kids would “take as many steps as they could.”
Udasi added that the milestone was “an unbelievable number,” the amazing result of “each kid starting with one step and going after their own goals.”
The Trexo robotic legs are described as “cutting-edge” and leverage an adjustable design to create a versatile brace suitable for kids with conditions like cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or spinal cord injuries. The technology not only supports physical exercise and independence but also hopes to improve overall emotional wellness.
The 100-million-step achievement is considered most notable considering many of the users were told that they’d never walk.
Trexo recently held an event to celebrate, honoring children, parents and supporting community members. Trexo said the celebration included autonomously walking Trexo legs, as well as one user showing off their dancing capabilities.
For a live step counter that refreshes every minute, you can visit the Trexo website and cheer on these remarkable kids.
