Laevo

Laevo evolves from the X-Arm project, started by InteSpring in December 2009 as a grant project. It was a collaboration between TU Delft, InteSpring, SenterNovem (nowadays Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland | RVO.nl) and Stichting Agis: “The development of an exoskeleton for supporting the upper body during lifting in health care.” At the end of 2013, the project was completed with very good results and the exoskeleton for working in a bent-over position was a fact. The potency and potential impact of this exoskeleton is very large, but could not be realized without good partners. With the participation of Achmea Zorgparticipaties, the company “Laevo” was founded on the 4th of September 2013.
