The Hypershell X robotic exoskeleton is a CES Innovation Award winner, designed to relieve strain and add a little boost to strenuous walks or hikes. “Whether you’re an adventurer, athlete, or someone looking to protect your joints and avoid injuries,” the press release says, “the Hypershell X helps you move smarter, longer, and with less strain.”

According to the company, the Hypershell X is powered by AI and offers a “smarter way to move.” It’s designed to reduce fatigue and prevent injuries. When you’re on a long hike, your gear or backpack limits your mobility. Plus, that added weight slows you down and puts pressure on your joints. The Hypershell X’s design reportedly takes some of that stress off your body because it “moves with you.”

However, it’s not only for hikers or adventurers. It’s designed to support anyone who is suffering from joint pain or recovering from an injury who wants to get back on their feet. “Whether you’re an adventurer, athlete, or someone looking to protect your joints and avoid injuries, the Hypershell X helps you move smarter, longer, and with less strain,” the press release says.

The premium model, the Carbon X, is lightweight, compact, and foldable. It’s also powerful, delivering up to 800 W of assistive power. According to the company, it reduces fatigue by up to 30%.

The robotic exoskeleton’s AI system, MotionEngine, uses high-profile sensors to detect your movements in real time and adjust itself to support your pace and movement style. When you’re carrying a backpack full of gear, it reportedly redistributes that weight to relieve the strain on your muscles.

Exoskeletons are becoming popular in injury prevention, one of Hypershell X’s reported features. Hypershell’s press release said, “This high-tech exoskeleton actively helps you move smarter.”

Hypershell compares the new exoskeleton to an “invisible safety net” while you’re walking. Its technology can adjust to your missteps and overextensions to prevent sprains and strains. By adapting to your movements “instantly,” it provides resistance to keep your legs in a controlled motion.

The Hypershell X represents a significant advancement in personal mobility technology, offering practical benefits for a wide range of users, from outdoor enthusiasts to those seeking injury prevention and enhanced endurance.
