Industrial exoskeletons

Wearable exosuits reducing worker strain in lifting and overhead work.

People ask for this as: “industrial exoskeleton”, “back support exosuit”

How it works

Robots used

  • Exoskeleton

Ways to buy it

  • Purchase Buy the robot (plus software and service plans, usually).
  • Rental — the machine for days or weeks.
  • Raas — a subscription covering robot, software and support.

Bot or Not?

A robot makes sense when…

  • The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
  • It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
  • You need data you will compare over time
  • You need eyes on it right now

Hire a human when…

  • It is small, low and one-off
  • It needs hands, judgement or a repair
  • Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
  • Nobody has defined the job yet

Here's the catch for this job

  • Ask for clinical evidence and peer-reviewed outcomes.
  • Leases and per-procedure pricing are common for big systems.

  1. Tasks (overhead work, lifting) and workers per shift
  2. Ergonomic injury data driving the purchase
  3. Facility type
  4. Number of beds/rooms or patients
  5. Clinical use case

Rules and regulation

Medical robots are regulated devices (FDA 510(k)/PMA in US, CE/MDR in EU, PMDA in Japan). Disinfection claims (UV) may need EPA/agency registration.

General information, not legal advice. Rules change; ask the operator which permits they hold and verify them.
