Building the future of first responder strength and mobility.
The Applied Collegiate Exoskeleton (ACE) Competition is an annual event where university teams design and build lower-limb exoskeleton suits. The goal: enhance the strength and mobility of first responders through cutting-edge wearable robotics.
Teams are challenged to innovate, engineer, and compete in a series of rigorous events that test both the technology and the team behind it.
In our first year competing at ACE (2025), hosted at the University of Michigan, our team built a functional exoskeleton in just 5 months and placed 5th overall!
From design review and safety checks to stair climbing and obstacle courses, our team proved what's possible with passion, teamwork, and innovation.
