Hangmo Tech, a startup from Beihang University, secured nearly 100 million RMB in angel funding to develop intelligent variable-stiffness joints and AI-powered exoskeletons. Their core technology enables robots to achieve impact resistance, energy recovery, and adaptive stiffness for industrial and consumer applications.
The Hypershell X Ultra S utilizes a new control algorithm to provide seamless leg power assistance. It aims to eliminate the 'puppet' sensation common in earlier exoskeleton models.
Italian startup Wearable Robotics, a Sant’Anna spin-off, raised €5M led by CDP Venture Capital to expand its ALEX RS bilateral upper-limb exoskeleton. Deployed in 20 countries since 2014. SIMEST funds international growth via Italy’s Ministry.
Southern University of Science and Technology's Prof. Fu Chenglong team developed a wearable centaur robot that connects to the human back via elastic coupling, forming a hybrid quadruped system. Inspired by four-legged animals, it outperforms traditional exoskeletons, which only reduce metabolic rate by 10%. The results are published in a top robotics journal.
Exoskeleton firm RoboCT raised over RMB 100 million (USD 13.7M) in Series B+ funding led by ABC Capital on March 5, 2026. Funds will expand its consumer exoskeleton business. Founder Wang Tian projects 60,000-100,000 units shipped in 2026.
Chengtian Technology raised over 100M RMB in B+ funding led by Nongyin Capital. Launched consumer exoskeletons: passive for walking stability and powered for hiking fatigue reduction. Forecasts 60-100k units shipped in 2026 amid embodied AI surge.
Hypershell’s flagship X Ultra is a 1.8-kilogram mechanical exoskeleton priced at 13,999 yuan. It combines a 1,000W motor, 30-kilometer range, titanium, carbon fiber, and end-to-end AI motion recognition, with real-world testing suggesting the consumer exoskeleton market is rapidly maturing.
Oujia Hua reports record-low 2025 profits but plans massive dividends and terminates a 7-year project. Amid downturn, it launches robotics subsidiaries for embodied AI, including exoskeleton robots, and invests in Xinghai Tu. Main business remains massage devices with cautious expansion.
