Bionik Laboratories
Bionik Laboratories produces the InMotion robotic systems for clinical neurorehabilitation. Their technology focuses on restoring upper-extremity motor control for patients with stroke, MS, and cerebral palsy. The InMotion robots use an ‘Assistance-as-Needed’ protocol and integrated machine learning to adapt therapy to the patient’s performance in real-time.
Human in Motion Robotics
Human in Motion Robotics develops the XoMotion, a powered lower-limb exoskeleton for people with mobility disabilities. The device features advanced degrees of freedom and is designed to provide natural gait and balance support for clinical and personal use. The company emphasizes its unique joint mechanism and autonomous balance control.
Bionic Power
Bionic Power produces the Agilik, a powered smart orthosis designed for children and adults with gait impairments such as crouch gait (Cerebral Palsy) or stroke. The device provides motorized knee assistance to improve mobility and endurance. Historically, the company is known for its Power-Harvesting Exoskeleton for military use, which generated electricity from the movement of […]
Aretech
Aretech produces the ZeroG system, a robotic body-weight support system that tracks a patient along an overhead track. It is designed to assist patients in walking, balance, and activities of daily living while providing fall protection. While not a wearable exoskeleton in the traditional sense, it is a primary robotic mobility platform for clinical rehabilitation.
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.
Palladyne AI
Palladyne AI, formerly Sarcos Technology and Robotics, is now focused on AI software for robotics. The company is historically important to the exoskeleton sector because Sarcos developed the Guardian XO full-body powered industrial exoskeleton. The Guardian XO hardware should be treated as a legacy or paused exoskeleton program unless refreshed evidence confirms active commercialization.
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.
Seismic
Seismic develops ‘Powered Clothing’ that integrates robotic actuators and sensors into apparel. The system is designed to augment core strength and support posture for industrial workers and the aging population. The technology utilizes electromechanical actuators to assist with standing and movement.
Harmonic Bionics
Harmonic Bionics develops the Harmony SMR (Shoulder-Mid-arm-Radial), a bilateral upper-limb robotic exoskeleton for clinical rehabilitation. The system is designed to provide anatomical shoulder movement for neurorehabilitation of conditions such as stroke.
