LIG Nex1
LIG Nex1 is a defense and aerospace company in South Korea. They develop the LEXO (Lower-extremity Exoskeleton for Operative) family of wearable robots. These include powered and passive systems designed to assist soldiers with load carriage and support industrial workers in heavy assembly. Their technology emphasizes high-torque density and natural human-robot interaction for extreme environments.
Hanwha Ocean
Hanwha Ocean (formerly DSME) is a historical pioneer in the development of industrial exoskeletons for heavy construction. In the early 2010s, they developed powered and passive ‘shipyard exoskeletons’ designed to help workers handle heavy components weighing up to 30kg. While primarily focused on large-scale shipbuilding, their research into human augmentation remains a landmark project in […]
InteSpring
InteSpring, based in the Delft robotics hub, specialized in passive compensation systems. They developed the Exobuddy (military load carriage system) and the Balancer (industrial tool support). While the company remains active in engineering consultancy and mechanical innovation, its standalone exoskeleton product line is reported as historical or project-based.
Hylite
Hylite Robotics develops wearable systems designed to reduce physical strain in demanding labor environments. Their focus is on creating lightweight, affordable exoskeletons that support the back and shoulders during lifting and overhead tasks. They utilize mechanical and hybrid assist technologies to optimize worker safety and comfort.
Veristride
Veristride develops wearable sensor technology and software intended for gait monitoring and rehabilitation. Their technology provides real-time biofeedback to patients and clinicians, aiming to improve walking symmetry and reduce fall risk for individuals with mobility impairments. They operate as an enabling technology provider for the medical and wearable robotics sectors.
ExoSystems
ExoSystems develops wearable healthcare devices for neurological and orthopedic rehabilitation. Their product, the exoRehab, is a wearable device that combines electrical stimulation with motion sensors and AI analysis. It is designed to provide personalized muscle strengthening and gait training for patients with muscle atrophy or mobility limitations.
WiRobotics
WiRobotics develops wearable robots for lifestyle and healthcare. Their flagship product, the WIM, is a lightweight hip-powered exoskeleton designed for walking assistance, hiking, and daily mobility. The company focuses on the B2C market and elderly care, aiming to provide gait enhancement in a form factor comparable to apparel.
Agade
Agade (Anti-Gravity Active Device) Robotics develops passive wearable systems designed to assist workers in logistics and manufacturing. Their primary product, the EXXo, is a passive exoskeleton focused on supporting the upper body and back during lifting and tool handling. The system uses mechanical energy storage to reduce fatigue and risk of injury.
FasTec
FasTec develops ergonomic solutions for the industrial workforce. Their primary product, the FT-Back, is a passive exoskeleton designed to reduce strain on the lumbar region during lifting and bending tasks. The company focuses on accessibility and ease of wear for diverse industrial applications.
Bioventus (Bioness)
Bioness, now part of Bioventus, develops wearable functional electrical stimulation (FES) systems. Their primary products, the L300 Go and H200 Wireless, are wearable devices designed to improve mobility for patients with foot drop or hand impairments resulting from stroke, MS, or TBI. These systems utilize stimulation to activate muscles, integrated into low-profile wearable orthoses.
