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.
Panasonic
Panasonic conducts corporate research into ‘power assist’ technologies for logistics and healthcare. While specialized commercial exoskeleton activities were historically concentrated in its subsidiary ATOUN, the parent company maintains R&D in fabric actuators and sensor-based human assistance.
Cyber Human Systems
Cyber Human Systems designs and develops exoskeletons for industrial, military, and rescue applications. As a spin-off of Gogoa Mobility Robots, the company focuses on physical augmentation to manage fatigue and strain. Products include the Exoshoulder for overhead support and textile-based soft suits for back support.
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.
Roam Robotics
Roam Robotics develops exoskeletons using pneumatic actuators and fabric-based systems. Their products include Ascend (a knee orthosis for osteoarthritis), Forge (a tactical load-carrying exoskeleton), and Elevate (a sports exoskeleton). The technology focuses on providing powered assistance in a lightweight, affordable package.
Myoswiss
MyoSwiss develops the Myosuit, a lightweight, active soft exosuit designed to assist individuals with muscle weakness. The system provides powered support at the hip and knee joints during walking and movement, aimed at users with neuromuscular or orthopedic conditions.
Bioservo
Bioservo creates soft robotic hand-assistance devices for people with impaired hand function. Its current focus is Carbonhand, while earlier industrial Ironhand activity should be treated as legacy/partner-related.
Verve Motion
Verve Motion, spun out of Harvard’s Biodesign Laboratory, develops soft wearable robotics for industrial lifting. SafeLift provides powered assistance for repetitive material-handling tasks.
Lifeward
Formerly ReWalk Robotics, Lifeward provides rehabilitation and mobility technologies including the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton, the ReStore soft exosuit and AlterG anti-gravity systems.
