ExyOne Shoulder Wearable Exoskeleton

ExyOne Shoulder Wearable Exoskeleton is a groundbreaking industrial assistive technology that represents a significant advancement in occupational safety and ergonomic support systems. This innovative wearable device, recognized with an Iron A' Design Award in the Cybernetics, Prosthesis and Implant Design category, is engineered to reduce upper limb strain by up to 8 kilograms, effectively minimizing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries in industrial settings. The exoskeleton features a sophisticated design incorporating carbon steel construction, spring steel components, and advanced materials such as PLA, ABS, and PU, all integrated into a comprehensive support system measuring 430mm in width, 300mm in depth, and 550mm in height. Its user-centric design emphasizes accessibility and customization, incorporating Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities for real-time performance monitoring and data analysis. The system's innovative architecture includes a quick-donning mechanism that allows workers to independently put on and remove the device, while its adjustable support structure gradually transfers load forces to optimize biomechanical efficiency. The exoskeleton's vest component utilizes high-performance polyester and polyamide fabrics with anti-electrostatic, flame-retardant, and bacteriostatic properties, ensuring both safety and comfort during extended use. The design's manufacturing process combines advanced production techniques including 3D printing, precision machining, and automated folding, resulting in a robust yet adaptable support system that effectively addresses the ergonomic challenges faced in industrial environments while maintaining cost-effectiveness and serviceability.
