IUVO
IUVO specializes in the design and development of innovative wearable robotics. Their portfolio includes research into both active (powered) and passive (non-powered) exoskeletons for upper and lower body support. They are known for collaborating on the MATE exoskeleton series (distributed by Comau) and for their research into soft robotics and clinical rehabilitation systems.
hTRIUS
hTRIUS develops ergonomic wearable systems to support manual laborers. Their focus is on passive exoskeletons that reduce strain on the back and shoulders during lifting and overhead tasks. Their systems are designed to be intuitive and lightweight for use in manufacturing and assembly contexts.
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 […]
Archelis
Archelis is a passive exoskeleton designed to support individuals in standing roles. The device allows users to sit in a standing position, transferring body weight to the shins and thighs. It is mechanical and does not require a power source, intended for use in surgery and manufacturing.
Comau
Comau, a player in industrial robotics, manufactures the MATE (Muscular Aiding Tech Exoskeleton) series. Their passive exoskeletons are designed to assist workers with overhead tasks (MATE-XT) and lifting tasks (MATE-XB). These devices provide mechanical support without motors or batteries.
Levitate Technologies
Levitate Technologies produces the AIRFRAME, a wearable exoskeleton designed to support workers in repetitive or static overhead tasks. The system transfers the weight of the arms to the hips, reducing fatigue and shoulder strain. It is mechanical and does not restrict range of motion, used in automotive, aerospace, and construction sectors.
Skelex
Skelex designs and manufactures non-powered, passive exoskeletons aimed at reducing physical strain for industrial workers. Their flagship product, the Skelex 360, provides dynamic shoulder support for overhead tasks by utilizing a spring-based mechanism that redistributes weight to the hips. The system is designed for industries such as aerospace, automotive, and shipbuilding.
noonee
noonee developed the ‘Chairless Chair’, a passive exoskeleton that allows workers to switch between sitting, standing, and walking. The device is designed for industrial environments where workers spend long hours on their feet. It supports the wearer’s weight and reduces load on knees and ankles. The company has expanded into a distribution model for various […]
Hunic
Hunic specializes in passive textile-based exoskeleton systems designed to reduce back strain during manual handling in logistics, manufacturing and care sectors.
HeroWear
HeroWear is a Vanderbilt University spin-off specializing in passive back-assist exosuits. Its Apex product line uses elastic elements to support lifting and bending tasks.
