Lightweight Exoskeletons, from Rehabilitation to Everyday Life: Paolo Ferretti Introduces Wimoove

How can robotic walking assistance extend beyond specialist centres? Wimoove’s CEO presents WIM and WIM S: wearable devices designed to support movement, with one guiding principle—technology does not replace clinical assessment.

Walking down a corridor, climbing a few steps, leaving the house. Everyday actions that, when mobility becomes limited, can turn into obstacles and gradually narrow the scope of daily life.

These needs are the starting point for the project Paolo Ferretti, CEO of Wimoove, discussed with AlphabetCity. At its core are WIM and WIM S, lightweight exoskeletons designed to support walking: a technology that aims to make robotic movement assistance more accessible while remaining connected to the work of healthcare professionals.

The question is not just how much a device can do, but how it can fit into a person’s life, with what goals and, above all, within what limits.
