The E-Bike for Walking: How a Powered Exoskeleton Is Giving People Their Lives Back
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we meet Luke Mooney, CEO of Dephy — an MIT-trained engineer who started by building robotic prosthetics to to make walking easier and less exhausting. It helps people walk further, faster, and with less effort
We meet the Dephy Sidekick: a powered footwear system that acts like an extra calf muscle, giving.
We sit down with Luke to understand how it works, who it's built for, and why the most meaningful impact isn't the technology itself - it's what people can do again when they wear it.
Whether you're managing fatigue, pain, or simply want to keep up with the people you love, this episode is a window into how human and machine are beginning to move together, looking to the future of exoskeleton mobility.
