Meet Exia – German Bionic’s New AI-Powered Exoskeleton
Exia is the first wearable exoskeleton powered by Augmented AI.
German Bionic, a robotics company based in Augsburg, Germany, has launched a new wearable exoskeleton to reduce the strain of physically demanding work, especially in construction and related trades.
Dubbed Exia, it is the most advanced exoskeleton the company has developed to date. It provides mechanical support and adapts to the wearer’s movements and tasks.
Designed for tough working conditions, it helps with everyday activities such as lifting, walking, and carrying – common causes of strain and injury over time.
According to German Bionic, Exia is the first exoskeleton fully driven by what they describe as “Augmented AI” – a system trained on real-world movement data that adapts in real time to the user’s actions and environment.
“It’s built not only on years of engineering excellence and the lived experiences of countless workers who already rely on our technology, but also on a foundation of billions of real-world data points,” said Armin G. Schmidt, CEO of German Bionic.
“Exia doesn’t merely respond or even just think – it actually learns. With every movement, it grows alongside its user, continuously adapting and evolving to meet the demands of the person and the job at hand.”

Exia provides up to 38 kilograms of lift support and features upgraded hardware and control software. It is designed to assist with movements such as lifting, carrying, walking, and other repetitive manual tasks – all common in sectors with high levels of physical strain and injury.
The exoskeleton’s AI system dynamically adjusts to each user, improving support as it learns from individual behaviour and working conditions. It also includes motion analysis, a digital twin for identifying risks, and wireless updates to keep the software up to date.
Workers and employers can monitor usage via the German Bionic Connect app, which displays performance data such as weight lifted and time in use.
The app also offers custom settings, coaching tools, and a two-way communication feature allowing users to send feedback directly to the company.
