Project NORA
(Never Out of Resources Available)
Project NORA (Never Out of Resources Available) is a lightweight, ultra-reliable passive exoskeleton engineered to protect the lower back and extend human endurance in demanding alpine environments. Built entirely without batteries, motors, or fragile electronics, NORA provides continuous, fail-safe lumbar support using an adaptive passive-kinetic architecture. As you hike, climb, or carry heavy packs, proprietary tension mechanics capture kinetic energy to assist upward movement while offloading mechanical stress directly through the frame to the ground. Designed specifically for mountaineers, hikers, and search-and-rescue personnel, NORA operates with total immunity to extreme temperatures, mud, water, and rugged terrain. By delivering 100% natural freedom of movement with zero battery anxiety or field maintenance, NORA significantly reduces fatigue, minimizes spinal compression, and keeps operators focused when every second counts. Whether navigating narrow ridgelines or executing prolonged casualty evacuations, the system seamlessly adapts to your body’s natural biomechanics. By merging rugged simplicity with intelligent passive load distribution, Project NORA sets a new benchmark for backcountry reliability, operator safety, and sustained endurance in next-generation wearable robotics across extreme wilderness environments.
Project NORA is currently undergoing field evaluations and is available for demonstration with select mountain rescue teams and outdoor professionals.
I could genuinely feel the NORA working while climbing over rocks and making my way up some particularly steep hills.
Shared after trying NORA unprompted while hiking and climbing on holiday, wearing a unit borrowed from someone 6'4" (noticeably oversized for her own frame). She noted she could still feel the support throughout the hike, praised the integrated hydration pack, and suggested exploring reflective or high-vis materials for future mountain rescue use cases.

SENSORLESS MANUFACTURING AND CONTROL TOOLS
Viking Sensorless System
The Sensorless Controller is a breakthrough for wearable robotics, designed to function without traditional body‑mounted sensors by employing advanced camera‑based vision systems that continuously track user posture, movement, and intent in real time. By eliminating cumbersome sensor arrays, the system reduces setup time, improves user comfort, and minimises maintenance complexity while leveraging AI‑driven control and verification to interpret visual data, predict user actions, and ensure that only trained and authorised operators engage with the system. All active units can be centrally managed through a unified platform that enforces safety protocols, logs usage data, and prevents unauthorised access, with optional facial recognition integration providing biometric authentication to enhance accountability in sensitive environments such as defence, healthcare, and industrial operations.
Configurable for both manufacturing and rehabilitation, the system adapts to diverse use cases ranging from reducing workplace injuries and fatigue to supporting patient recovery and mobility training, while built‑in predictive diagnostics flag potential issues before they occur, lowering downtime and extending equipment lifespan. By merging vision‑based control with AI‑enabled oversight, the \viking Sensorless System sets a new benchmark for safety, usability, and scalability in next‑generation wearable robotics.
