German Bionic, exoskeletons as light as a feather

They help lift loads, monitor movements and posture, improve safety: the new exoskeletons are increasingly "friends of man".

The startup of robotic exoskeletons German Bionic, creator of the Cray X (we talked about it here), is about to unveil the CES2023 (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas two new devices for posture correction. Apogee will be used in both industrial and commercial while Safety Vest “it will bring advanced ergonomic protection and monitoring to all workers,” I read in the press release.

Apogee and SafetyVest: skin-friendly exoskeletons (for those who work)

Apogee it is the result of the lessons learned during the development of the Cray X, and is the lightest exoskeleton ever made by German Bionic. Despite its light weight, it is capable of supporting up to 30kg (66lbs) of weight on the user's lower back during lifting movements, and offers active walking assistance to reduce fatigue. Safety Vest it does not help the user to pick up heavy objects, but monitors the movements and position of the body during work, providing personalized data-driven ergonomic analysis, as well as assessments and recommended actions to increase the well-being of the wearer.

Both systems use the same architecture, which allows them to monitor, analyze and report all information on user movements in real time. Through the on-board display and acoustic warnings, these exoskeletons warn workers in the event of potentially dangerous movements, guaranteeing safety and comfort.

Details do we have?

Just one day away from the start of CES2023 the company it doesn't unbutton much. Pricing details, for example, have not yet been revealed. Evaluations, however, I already have plenty: one above all. Free from the stigma of "dehumanizing" tool (it accompanied its entire first phase of adoption), this technology is now starting to show its potential. Those of improving the performance of the workers, of course, but also of assisting him in onerous tasks in which previously he was left only to his common sense and to the safety rules that sometimes have some dangerous flaws.

Among the uses envisaged for the next few years, exoskeletons will be very useful for health and social workers. Assisting people in bed, having to lift them to change them or help them move is a very demanding task, which technological tools such as these can alleviate.

"There's nothing more exciting than helping people work more effectively and safely," he says Norm Steller, CPO of German Bionic. "With our line of wearable devices we can offer the ideal support for any type of work environment that requires physical effort. Furthermore, with the Bionic IO data platform, we can provide a powerful tool for ergonomics and process analysis We are proud to contribute to the sustainability and safety of work with these innovative technological solutions".

Having a posture assistant who helps in carrying out the tasks is a good solution to enhance, and not mortify the human factor. A man who can guarantee more "robotic" performance thanks to exoskeletons is simply a man with more tools. Tools that allow him not to fear that a machine will take his place.
