    backX made by suitX

    Published on Nov 15, 2016

    BackX is a novel industrial exoskeleton that reduces the forces and torques on a wearer’s lower back region (L5/S1 disc) by 60% while s/he is stooping, lifting objects, bending or reaching. BackX greatly minimizes the risk of back injuries among workers in warehouses, distribution centers, factories, construction sites, shipbuilding facilities, foundries and auto assembly plants. BackX increases productivity and never impedes natural movements. Using BackX, the wearer can walk, ascend and descend stairs and ladders, drive automobiles, ride bicycles, run and perform any maneuver with absolutely no restriction from BackX.

    shoulderX made by suitX

    Published on Nov 15, 2016

    shoulderX is an industrial arm exoskeleton that augments its wearer by reducing gravity-induced forces at the shoulder complex, enabling the wearer to perform chest to ceiling level tasks for longer durations and with less effort. shoukderX balances the combined weight of the wearer’s arm and tool s/he is holding throughout the body’s range of motion, and can be quickly tuned for different levels of support. A minimal profile and adjustable sizing allows for natural movement and intuitive awareness of the wearer’s position within tight spaces.

    legX made by suitX

    Published on Nov 15, 2016

    kneeX is a revolutionary knee exoskeleton that allows the wearer to squat repeatedly or for prolonged periods of time by reducing the knee joint and quadricep muscles forces. The amount of support can be adjusted to suit the needs and weight of the user. This intelligent system can distinguish between walking, ascending/descending stairs and squatting to allow unimpeded locomotion and only provides support when support is desired. An anthropomorphic profile and adjustable sizing allows for natural movement and intuitive awareness of one’s position within tight spaces.
