German Bionic has developed the Exia, the world’s most powerful active, connected exoskeleton that integrates robotics, AI/ML, and IoT. It protects the lower back during lifting and awkward postures of up to 38 kg, reduces fatigue while walking, and uses self-learning AI to adapt to individual movement patterns and workplace conditions. Sensor-based data analysis enables preventive ergonomic assessments.

In the healthcare and nursing sector, the system human-centrically transforms physically demanding tasks: it enhances occupational safety, protects the health of caregivers, strengthens human capabilities, and helps preserve joy in the profession. In doing so, it addresses labor shortages and overload in an aging society through technology, making care professions more attractive, inclusive, and future-ready.
