ULS Robotics
ULS Robotics develops powered exoskeleton technology for industrial and medical sectors. Their product range includes powered lower-limb systems for lifting, upper-body support for overhead work, and medical rehabilitation devices. They focus on modular high-torque designs for manual labor assistance.
Japet Medical
Japet Medical develops solutions for back health, including the Japet.W. This exoskeleton uses motorized actuators to follow user movement and apply spinal traction, intended to relieve pressure on the lumbar region. It is used in occupational health to support workers with back pain.
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.
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.
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 […]
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.
