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.
Samsung Electronics
Samsung Electronics has introduced the GEMS (Gait Enhancing and Motivating System) platform, which includes GEMS-H (Hip), GEMS-K (Knee), and GEMS-A (Ankle). These lightweight, powered wearable robots are designed to assist individuals with limited mobility, providing gait support and strength enhancement. The system focuses on balance and energy efficiency for both clinical and home use.
Hocoma
Hocoma is a major provider of robotic and sensor-based solutions for functional movement therapy. Its core products include the Lokomat, a robotic gait trainer that automates treadmill training for neurological patients, the Erigo for early mobilization in upright positioning, and the Andago for overground gait training. These systems are used in clinical settings for rehabilitation […]
Tyromotion
Tyromotion develops specialized robotic and sensor-based equipment for neurological rehabilitation. Its product line features the Amadeo (finger/hand rehabilitation), Diego (bilateral arm rehabilitation), Lexo (robotic gait trainer), and Omego (lower limb functional therapy). The systems are designed for patients across the continuum of care, from acute phase to home-based therapy.
Reha Technology
Reha Technology focuses on advanced robotic systems for neurorehabilitation. Their flagship G-EO System is an end-effector based robotic gait trainer that can simulate various walking scenarios, including stair climbing and descending. It is designed to assist patients in reclaiming mobility after stroke, TBI, or other neurological impairments.
Hyundai Motor Group
Hyundai Motor Group has developed a range of wearable robots as part of its ‘Robotics Lab’ initiatives. Its portfolio includes the VEX (Vest Exoskeleton) for overhead work, the CEX (Chairless Exoskeleton) for knee joint support during seated tasks, and the H-MEX (Hyundai Medical Exoskeleton) for gait assistance for individuals with lower-limb paralysis. The company focuses […]
BAMA Teknoloji
BAMA Teknoloji manufactures robotic rehabilitation systems. Their RoboGait system is a robotic-assisted gait therapy system that utilizes a powered exoskeleton and treadmill to retrain walking patterns in neurologically impaired patients. They also develop wearable robotic devices for clinical use.
Lockheed Martin
Lockheed Martin develops exoskeleton systems for military and heavy industrial use. Key projects include ONYX, a powered lower-limb exoskeleton for soldier endurance, and FORTIS, a passive system for managing heavy tool weight in industrial environments. These systems are part of broader human augmentation research.
Honda
Honda developed the Walking Assist Device for gait rehabilitation. The hip-powered system assists users in improving stride length and walking speed. The technology is informed by Honda’s research into bipedal robotics.
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.
