It is an assistive exoskeleton device intended for multiple scenarios, aiming to provide an efficient, comfortable, and user-friendly solution for those who need strength support and motion assistance. It embraces a groundbreaking systematic design that integrates bionic engineering principles and minimalist aesthetics, ingeniously positioning the main weight of the drive energy source at the waist and back. This not only caters to the weight-bearing habits of humans in terms of height but also reduces the lateral dimensions after wearing, minimizing interference from the arms during movement. This device serves as both a medical assistance tool and a piece of innovative industrial equipment.

This product includes a leg support structure, a waist control and drive unit, and straps. The leg support structure, inspired by the shape of the human skeleton, is crafted from carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials, ensuring both biological aesthetics and exceptional mechanical performance. This structure adopts a modular design for quick disassembly and storage, making it easy to carry on the go. The waist control and drive unit features two motion motors on either side, compatible with different models of leg support rods. The straps are widened to increase the contact area with the body, delivering more stable support and precise feedback.

This device is suitable for cargo handlers in the logistics and warehousing industry, outdoor hikers, and travelers, enabling them to move more easily with less physical exertion. It can also assist patients undergoing rehabilitation therapy in limb function recovery training or individuals with mobility challenges in enhancing their self-care capabilities.
