Provides active assistance during lifting, carrying and repeated bending.
Industrial wearable robotics
Wearable robotics for safer, less strenuous work.
V-UP is an active exoskeleton under development for lifting, carrying and repeated bending. It is designed to support the lower back, reduce physical strain and preserve the wearer’s natural movement.
Product status: working engineering prototype; testing continues
V-UP
What does V-UP do?
V-UP supports the lower back in jobs that involve frequent lifting and bending. Its powered mechanism transfers controlled assistance through the hip and upper thigh while the user moves.
- Supports lifting, carrying and repeated bending workflows
- Adjustable structure for different user heights
- Developed through prototype testing and engineering verification
Actual test record
See the prototype, not a concept image.
The images and video in this section are taken from a real user-worn prototype test. They show the current development stage and should not be read as final commercial product specifications.
Prototype movement test: standing, bending, rising and walking.
