Forget sports drinks and energy goos, Hypershell has a more concrete and powerful way of boosting your performance on mountain and trail. The Shanghai startup looks to free exoskeleton technology from the workplaces and battlefields where it’s often fo… Continue reading Packable AI exoskeleton cranks outdoor adventure into hyperdrive
With a view to one day helping people with impaired mobility, scientists at Stanford University have been toiling away on an ankle exoskeleton designed to make walking easier. The group has just introduced their first untethered version for use beyond … Continue reading Stanford exoskeleton breaks out of the lab to offer 30-lb walking boost
Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a lightweight, wearable textile exomuscle that uses sensors embedded in its fabric to detect a user’s movement intentions and chip in extra force as needed. Initial tests show a significant boost in endurance.Co… Continue reading Wearable muscles offer an impressive upper-body endurance boost
It was back in 2014 that we first heard about the Chairless Chair, a lower-body exoskeleton that doesn’t impede walking, but that also supports the wearer when they go into a sitting position. Well, there’s now a lighter, comfier model.Continue Reading… Continue reading Chairless Chair 2.0 improves on the “wearable chair” concept

When someone has been left paralyzed by a stroke or brain injury, much of their recovery involves physically guiding the affected limb though the lost motion, so their brain can relearn it. A new exoskeleton does exactly that for the hand, and patients… Continue reading Emovo Grasp could help restore hand function to stroke victims
Three years ago, we heard about an assistive upper-body exoskeleton called the Paexo Shoulder. Its German manufacturer, Ottobock, has announced an updated model, now going by the name of the Ottobock Shoulder.Continue ReadingCategory: Wearables, Techno… Continue reading Ottobock unveils new-and-improved Shoulder upper-body exoskeleton
Last year, German Bionic revealed a fourth generation of its Cray X exoskeleton, keeping things light by employing a carbon fiber frame. Now the 5th generation has been announced, which is reported to be the first of its kind to support two body region… Continue reading Carbon fiber exoskeleton first to support two body regions
Lower-body exoskeletons don’t merely thrust the wearer’s legs forward – they move them based on the user’s existing gait. A team at Harvard University has now developed what is claimed to be a better method of gauging that gait, utilizing ultrasound.Co… Continue reading Ultrasound used for better calibration of assistive exoskeletons
While there are now several powered exoskeletons designed for use by specific groups, there are few if any that are aimed at the general public. Hong Kong-based Enhanced Robotics is out to change that, with its Sportsmate 5.Continue ReadingCategory: Ro… Continue reading Sportsmate 5 exoskeleton helps or hinders your legs, as instructed
