Robotics built so people can do what they can'tIt started with a question a young engineer could not put down. In robotics club at university, Nicolas Simon watched a machine learn to walk and thought of his brother, who was losing that ability. If a robot can walk, why can't we build one that walks for him?Wandercraft was founded in Paris in 2012 to answer it, and the answer took a decade of engineering: an exoskeleton that balances itself, so the person inside doesn't have to. In 2019 Atalante became the first self-balancing walking exoskeleton to earn a CE mark in Europe.That same technology now carries people through rehabilitation at more than 150 clinical and research sites, is moving out of the clinic and into the home with Eve, and stands inside Calvin, our family of humanoid robots built for the heaviest work in industry. Three products, two markets, one conviction — robotics should help people do what they can't.Fourteen years, three robots and one idea that refused to go away. Scroll sideways to follow it.Built on more than a decade of exoskeleton engineering, the first Calvin prototype takes shape in 40 days. Calvin-40 is revealed with Renault Group as its first customer.We're not just hiring people. We're building a team of pioneers, curious minds and problem solvers who want to change the world, step by step.The people we build for are in the buildingOur Paris office has its own walk center, another is in New York City, and more are opening across the US. Users train in the building every day, so nobody here has to imagine who the work is for.Our in-house Expert Track lets engineers go deeper in a specialty instead of managing their way up. Seniority here is not only a headcount.“I like the idea of not knowing, of being surrounded by brilliant minds who also don’t know and who, when brought together, are able to do things you didn’t think were possible. I feel like I’m on the front lines, seeing the instructive failures, the jolts, the unexpected successes, the twists and turns along the way that are turning a simple idea into a solution for our patients.”Wandercraft is developing a useful product for patients and therapists. We are fortunate to be able to engage with patients and healthcare professionals, and build tailored solutions to their challenges, within a fast development cycle. In the command department, we can very easily try out our new algorithms on prototypes in the test room. The technical challenges are there, but above all, we know why we get up every morning!”
