RoboCT
RoboCT is a technology company focusing on rehabilitation robotics and industrial wearable support. Their product line includes medical exoskeletons for gait assistance, as well as omnidirectional mobile platforms and industrial ‘power suites’. They focus on integrating sensor fusion and advanced motion control to improve user experience and clinical outcomes.
Exhauss
Exhauss designs and sells passive industrial exoskeletons derived from camera stabilization technology. Their products are focused on tool handling, load management, and upper-limb support for workers in construction, logistics, and manufacturing. The system is modular and uses spring-based mechanisms to offload the weight of heavy tools or the arms themselves.
Hexar Humancare
Hexar Humancare (HexaHumanCare) develops a variety of wearable robotic systems. Their HECTOR series includes industrial exoskeletons for back support and lifting, while the RESILION series focuses on medical orthopedic devices for knee and arm rehabilitation. The company leverages Hanyang University’s robotic research to build powered systems for labor and therapy.
StrongArm Technologies
StrongArm Technologies focuses on protecting industrial ‘Industrial Athletes’ through wearable data and mechanical support. While pivotally focused on the FUSE sensor for risk tracking, its historical product line includes the V22 ErgoSkeleton, a passive device that supports the back and shoulders during heavy lifting. The company uses data analytics to reduce workplace injuries.
Panasonic
Panasonic conducts corporate research into ‘power assist’ technologies for logistics and healthcare. While specialized commercial exoskeleton activities were historically concentrated in its subsidiary ATOUN, the parent company maintains R&D in fabric actuators and sensor-based human assistance.
Cyber Human Systems
Cyber Human Systems designs and develops exoskeletons for industrial, military, and rescue applications. As a spin-off of Gogoa Mobility Robots, the company focuses on physical augmentation to manage fatigue and strain. Products include the Exoshoulder for overhead support and textile-based soft suits for back support.
ATOUN
ATOUN was a Panasonic-backed company that specialized in powered exoskeletons for heavy labor. Their Model Y back support system was utilized in logistics and baggage handling operations. The company’s technology has influenced subsequent developments in the sector.
GenElek Technologies
GenElek Technologies focuses on developing powered exoskeletons for medical rehabilitation and industrial lift assistance. The company investigates the use of artificial intelligence in wearable robotic control systems.
Seismic
Seismic develops ‘Powered Clothing’ that integrates robotic actuators and sensors into apparel. The system is designed to augment core strength and support posture for industrial workers and the aging population. The technology utilizes electromechanical actuators to assist with standing and movement.
ULS Robotics
ULS Robotics develops powered exoskeleton technology for industrial and medical sectors. Their product range includes powered lower-limb systems for lifting, upper-body support for overhead work, and medical rehabilitation devices. They focus on modular high-torque designs for manual labor assistance.
