Cadence Biomedical
Cadence Biomedical manufactures the Kickstart, a non-powered wearable system designed to assist people with neurological mobility impairments. The Kickstart uses a spring-based kinetic energy system to help users lift their legs and initiate a steps, functioning as a passive lower-limb exoskeleton for individuals with stroke, spinal cord injury, or MS.
Astride Bionix
Astride Bionix develops ‘Enyware’, a wearable exoskeleton designed to support the lower body during standing and sitting tasks. The system functions as a wearable chair, providing support to the wearer’s legs and back to reduce physical fatigue in industrial and clinical settings. It aims to improve ergonomics for workers who must stand for extended periods […]
Digity
Digity develops passive mechanical wearable systems for hand and finger protection. Their flagship product, ARTUS 3, is a CE-marked passive exoskeleton designed for manual tasks involving repetitive pressing or finger overextension. It aims to reduce musculoskeletal strain and prevent injuries in assembly and logistics environments without restricted dexterity.
Crimson Dynamics
Crimson Dynamics develops passive wearable support systems designed for repetitive and physically demanding tasks. Their portfolio includes shoulder-support and back-support exoskeletons intended to reduce fatigue in logistics, construction, and manufacturing. They emphasize engineering iteration and collaboration with manufacturing partners to refine ergonomics.
Innoheroe
Innoheroe Technology develops wearable robotic systems focused on physical augmentation. Their products include passive and active back support exoskeletons designed for logistics, manufacturing, and general labor tasks. They focus on delivering cost-effective ergonomic solutions for the Asian market.
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.
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.
