Queen's Biomechatronics Team

QBMET

Innovating exoskeleton design since 2021

Strength in every step.

Resilience in every design.

Student-driven, interdisciplinary design team at Queen’s University, focused on advancing assistive technologies through innovation and collaboration. Specializing in the development of lightweight, efficient lower-limb exoskeletons, QBMeT aims to enhance mobility and endurance for first responders managing heavy loads. With expertise across structural, power systems, software, and research domains, the team leverages cutting-edge design to create impactful solutions that address real-world challenges.

About Us

In 2025, our team took home 1st place at the Applied Colligate Exoskeleton Competition.

As our design continues to advance we look forward to showcasing our new and improved suit at 2026 competitions.
