Smarter. Stronger. Lighter. The portable robotic of the next generation anticipates the requirements in everyday work and adapts to you – based on concrete and real information from billions of data.
The robotics company German Bionic today presents its most advanced exoskeleton model Exia: the world’s first exoskeleton that is fully and effectively controlled by Augmented AI. It was developed based on billions of real application data from industry, manufacturing, logistics, airports, retail and healthcare. The result: an exoskeleton that sets a new standard for strength, intelligence and adaptivity. The EXIA is designed as a universal solution and thus the first of its kind that can be used flexibly in almost every work environment. The official presentation will take place on May 28, 2025: at the “Future of Everything” conference in New York, which is organized by The Wall Street Journal. There, the exia is one of the selected exhibits of the exclusive innovation program “The Lab”.
German Bionic has redesigned the EXIA from scratch, with the latest hardware architecture and optimized control software. By using real data from real work situations, it offers the most effective exoskeleton support with up to 38 kg of dynamic relief for very different applications. But it is not only stronger and lighter, but also smarter. Based on real data, the exoskeleton anticipates the needs of the people who use it and adapts the support in real time. It learns from the movements of the users and their surroundings, recognizes movement patterns, interprets the context and immediately reacts as required – by supporting, walking, carrying, carrying or working in a pre -bent attitude.
“The exia is future -oriented in the area of human augmentation,” says Armin G. Schmidt, CEO and co -founder of German Bionic. “Our technology is based on years of development work, the experiences of all of the many workers who already work with our technology and also to billions of data points from real working life. The exia does not react easily, and it also not thinks.
Intelligently, the exia becomes an individual working partner
The exia is intelligent, directly at the factory. Why? Because it is based on extensive data from different real work situations, collects data protection compliant. As a result, it recognizes how people lift, carry, prevent and move in the context of their concrete activities. This profound practical knowledge enables precise support when you first use it. But that’s not all. The AI native architecture and over-the-air updates form the basis for continuously learning the exia. With every use it becomes more precise and more effective and adapts its behavior more finely – to the conditions in the job and to the people who do it. Over time, the exia becomes an individual working partner.
With the exia, German Bionic has created a high-tech innovation that can contribute to solving important challenges of today’s working society. Muscle skeleton diseases (MSE), especially injuries due to severe lifting and repeated stress, in the case of employed people in the EU, according to an Elsevier study, up to 2 % of gross domestic product (GDP) leads to productivity losses. Added to this is the demographic change. According to the EU Commission forecast, the employable population of Europe will decrease from 265 million in 2022 to 258 million in 2030. It is all the more important to make physically demanding activities safer, more sustainable and attractive in order to keep your own workforce healthy and operational, today and in the future.
The EXIA reduces the risk of injury, increases productivity and ensures that people can perform physically stressful activities longer. The exoskeleton companies help to protect their current workforce in terms of health and to gain qualified young specialists.
Important features of exia:
- Flexible and adaptive support: recognizes all the movements of the people who use it and adapts the support precisely – with a relief of up to 38 kg per lifting process.
- Smart Safety Companion: A digital twin recognizes risky movements in real time and promotes safe behavior.
- German Bionic Connect App: Allows users to control personal device settings, access analyzes and use coaching in a playful way. With every smartphone.
- German Bionic IO: The forward -looking cloud -based analysis platform provides ergonomic knowledge and enables the monitoring of the activities and fleet management – everything via an intuitive dashboard
Seamless networking and personalized use experience
All exoskeletons are supplemented by the German Bionic Connect App, which has been further developed and improves the use of use. It is available for iOS and Android and provides detailed performance data such as the number of steps covered, high weight and useful life. The app enables direct feedback and qualitative feedback via a bidirectional communication channel. This continuous cycle of input and optimization ensures a personalized use of use that is increasingly adapting to the actual individual requirements. By closely combining employees with the technology used, the app strengthens the sense of responsibility, makes jobs more secure and promotes the acceptance of exoskeleton technology.
In addition to the app and the exoskelets, the approach of a 360 ° Human Augmentation of German Bionic also includes the powerful data in-night platform German Bionic IO and other human-machine interfaces. Together they form a comprehensive system that enables ergonomic analyzes in real time, targeted monitoring of all activities as well as their optimization and detailed evaluations – all about an intuitive, use -friendly dashboard. Fleet management is also efficiently supported. The system is supplemented by a video-based academy with tutorials for the introduction and professional tips. In this way, the users can exploit the full potential of the exoskeleton.
Augmented AI: Future-based exoskeleton, developed with real AI power
The exia is forward -looking for the development of portable robotics. Real Augmented AI and the training with billions of real application data create a new level of intelligence and reaction speed of technology: Exia combines strength, intelligence, personalization and flexibility in a single scalable solution. Since it was developed in a practical way for the requirements of modern workplaces, it supports the employees and grows with them. So it sets new standards for human augmentation in a wide variety of industries.
Exia presentation in North America and Europe
The exia will be at the conference Future of Everything of The Wall Street Journal presented to the public. The event will take place from May 28th to 29th, 2025 in the Glasshouse in New York City. Since the EXIA is one of the selected exhibits of the exclusive innovation program, the participants can try it out themselves during the event. According to the US debut, the exia is at the Viva Technology 2025 presented to the European audience. The most influential tech event in Europe will take place in Paris from June 11th to 14th, 2025.
