In this episode of Behind The Robot, we speak with Fabien Expert, hardware CTO at Wandercraft. Fabien explains how Wandercraft started with one clear mission, helping people who cannot walk to stand and walk again through exoskeleton technology.

He shares how the company evolved from rehabilitation exoskeletons used in clinics to a personal exoskeleton designed for daily life, aimed as a complement to a wheelchair. Fabien also discusses Wandercraft’s expansion into humanoid robots for logistics and manufacturing, following investment and partnership activity, including work with Renault.

The conversation covers what it takes to build robots in real life, the scale of engineering effort required, and why progress takes time. Fabien highlights lessons learned across a decade of development, including the importance of soft skills, teamwork, safety, and data driven engineering.
