Elizabeth Beattie, Nick McGill, Nick Parrotta, and Niko Vladimirov were inspired to create their so-called “Titan Arm” after researching the potential that exoskeletons have for helping for people with debilitating injuries.Titan Arm straps onto a user’s arm and back and empowers him or her to lift over 40 pounds in a bicep curl. “When it is turned on, the added strength is immediately apparent,” says Parrotta. “It’s much like someone else is helping you out by lifting your forearm for you.”
