Innophys
Innophys is a university spin-off based in Tokyo that manufactures pneumatic-powered exoskeletons for back support. The Muscle Suit Every utilizes artificial muscles powered by pressurized air to provide lifting assistance. It is used in nursing care, agriculture, 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.
Laevo
Laevo specializes in the development of passive, wearable exoskeletons designed to support the back during bending and lifting tasks. Their products, such as the Laevo V2 and Laevo Flex, use a chest-pad and spring system to offload the lower back. These devices are used in logistics, agriculture, and healthcare to address lower back strain.
Mawashi Science & Technology
Mawashi develops Human Augmentation Systems for defense and industrial settings, including passive load-bearing and industrial exoskeleton technologies focused on load transfer and injury reduction.
Gogoa Mobility Robots
Gogoa develops robotic devices for movement rehabilitation and industrial workplace safety, including HANK, BELK and Hand of Hope, and is associated with Movex Clinics for robotic neurorehabilitation.
Hunic
Hunic specializes in passive textile-based exoskeleton systems designed to reduce back strain during manual handling in logistics, manufacturing and care sectors.
Angel Robotics
Angel Robotics provides clinical walking-assist systems and industrial wearable support devices, with products for pediatric/adult rehabilitation and workplace injury prevention.
Auxivo
Auxivo develops passive industrial exoskeletons designed to reduce physical workload, including textile back support, load-carrying support and multi-task systems.
