// FAQ PORTAL

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Exoskeleton Index?
Exoskeleton Index is a curated global directory and market intelligence database focusing on wearable robotics and occupational exoskeletons. It structures product datasheets, supplier records, and TRL indicators to help clinics, B2B buyers, and research labs find and compare ergonomic and assistive options.
Who is Exoskeleton Index built for?
The platform serves industrial safety teams, rehabilitation clinics, healthcare institutions, corporate ergonomic planners, robotics researchers, and suppliers. It translates complex biomechanical specs into standardized database records for objective early-stage discovery.
What types of exoskeletons are included?
Our directory covers active (powered, battery-assisted) and passive (purely mechanical, spring/torsion-elastic) systems. These span back & lumbar, shoulder overhead support, grip reinforcement gloves, knee and leg fatigue reduction, gait rehabilitation frames, and full-body heavy loaders.
How are company and product records verified?
Records are compiled from verified supplier disclosures, regulatory certifications, peer-reviewed clinical data, and public pilot programs. Each profile lists a 'Source Confidence' indicator to show how much of the technical specification has been officially verified.
Can suppliers submit or update their product profiles?
Yes, we actively encourage manufacturers and distributors to keep their product specifications accurate. Sourcing managers can submit new equipment records or file data corrections through our official Sourcing Submission portal.
Does Exoskeleton Index sell or manufacture exoskeletons?
No. Exoskeleton Index is a fully independent reference platform and directory. We do not manufacture, sell, or represent any specific hardware brand. Sourcing transactions and pilot arrangements are conducted directly between buyers and respective verified manufacturers or local distributors.
