German Bionic has unveiled Exia, the world’s first exoskeleton fully powered by true Augmented AI. Built from billions of real-world motion data points gathered across sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, construction, and retail, Exia redefines what’s possible in wearable robotics – offering unmatched strength, adaptability, and intelligence.

Designed as a universal solution for physically demanding industries, Exia delivers up to 84 lbs (38 kg) of dynamic lift assistance while being lighter, smarter, and more intuitive than previous models. What sets it apart is its ability to learn in real time from its user’s movements and the work environment, offering personalized support that adapts with every use.

Exia moves beyond traditional support systems by continuously learning and evolving through an AI-native architecture and over-the-air software updates. This creates a smart, connected system that fine-tunes itself to each user and job, making it a truly dynamic partner on the job site.

• Adaptive Lift Engine: Learns user-specific motion patterns and delivers customized lift assistance.
• Smart Safety Companion: Identifies risky movements and encourages safer behavior using a real-time digital twin.
• German Bionic Connect App: Empowers users with control, performance analytics, and gamified coaching.
• German Bionic IO Platform: Offers ergonomic insights, activity tracking, and fleet management with real-time dashboards.

Exia’s intelligence and connectivity extend beyond the device. Through the Connect app, users receive real-time metrics like steps taken and weight lifted, while offering direct feedback that feeds into system updates and personalization. This two-way communication loop enhances engagement, boosts safety awareness, and drives adoption in the field.

German Bionic’s holistic 360° Human Augmentation system combines Exia, the Connect app, and the IO data platform to deliver unmatched ergonomic optimization, injury prevention, and workforce sustainability. Their integrated Academy provides training videos and expert guidance, ensuring teams are equipped to use Exia to its full potential.

Exia’s launch comes at a crucial time. With musculoskeletal injuries costing U.S. employers over $67,000 per claim and a projected shortfall of 1.9 million manufacturing workers by 2033, industries urgently need safer, smarter, and more appealing work environments. Exia directly addresses these challenges, helping companies protect their workforce while improving productivity and attracting new talent.
