Genrobotics Medical & Mobility is the healthcare‑focused division of Genrobotics, a Kerala-based Indian robotics and AI company that builds advanced robotic solutions for real‑world problems. This division focuses on designing robotic rehabilitation technology to help people with mobility challenges, recover movement and walk independently. It's a part of a larger group, Genrobotics, that also works on robotics for sanitation tech, oil and gas, and robotics and AI research.
Founded in 2015, Genrobotics began as a college project where they developed a wearable exoskeleton. Since then, they've grown and created innovative solutions for real-world problems. In healthcare, Genrobotics Medical & Mobility helps patients heal or get back their movement more quickly than usual therapy. The goal is to help patients walk or move on their own without needing as much help from others. The company uses advanced, human-friendly robots to make therapy easier, safer and more effective.
The main product from Genrobotics Medical & Mobility is called G‑Gaiter, a robotic walking trainer. This solution is used by hospitals and rehabilitation centers to help patients recover walking ability after conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury or other movement issues. G-Gaiter is a wearable system that guides the legs through natural walking patterns, helping patients practice safely. Its standout feature is repeatable and consistent training, which helps the body relearn proper walking movements.
From children to adults, G-Gaiter offers different robotic walking trainers designed to meet the needs of different patients. G-Gaiter Standard is designed for adults, which helps patients regain strength, balance and confidence while learning to walk again. G-Gaiter Paediatric is designed for children with child-friendly ergonomics and therapy modes. This provides gentle yet effective rehabilitation for the youngest patients. G-Gaiter Advanced is designed for both pediatric and adult use. The advanced model seamlessly adjusts to treat both children and adults, making it an ideal choice for comprehensive rehabilitation centers.
Kerala became the first Indian state to use robotic rehabilitation technology at primary healthcare centers. A Robotic Assisted Gait Trainer, called G-Gaiter, was set up at the Noolpuzha Family Health Center in Wayanad. This robot helps patients practice walking safely and recover movement.
G-Gaiter Exoskeleton supports each joint individually, so walking feels natural. It also helps maintain posture, balance, and knee safety. Unlike traditional End-Effector systems, which lack joint-specific support and have limited accuracy, G-Gaiter helps keep your body upright and balanced while walking.
