MATE-XB Exoskeleton

Battery-free wearable robotic exoskeleton

Discover how Comau’s non-powered wearable exoskeleton – MATE-XB – stores human energy in a spring,
helping workers lift heavy objects and move cumbersome loads with less physical effort and
fatigue.

Mechanical Kinematic Chain

Structure that facilitates the free movement of the user.

The device allows the user to move the trunk freely
The passive kinematic chain is designed to be compact around the human body
The passive kinematic chain is designed to deal with the human-exoskeleton kinematic compatibility

Garment Interface

All parts in direct contact with the user’s body.

Breathable and bio-compatible materials
Wide contact area to distribute reaction forces without causing high-force points

Torque Generating Box (TGB)

Core mechanism that stores and transforms potential mechanical energy in order to create an adjustable assistive torque.

Assistance is proportional to the torque generated by the upper part of the body gentle assistance up to 25 kg
Possibility of tuning the amount of support over 5 levels
No hindrance while walking

Better ergonomic performance

Easy to wear and quickly adjustable to fit virtually any body frame, the MATE-XB exoskeleton suit is specifically designed to improve ergonomics during lifting and repetitive tasks.

It does so without using motors or batteries by providing passive assistance to the lower back and supporting the user when bending with the legs (squatting), bending forward, or during the repetitive lifting of loads.
