At CES 2025, German Bionic introduced the Apogee Ultra, a cutting-edge robotic exoskeleton designed to revolutionize manual labour. Touted as the "world’s most powerful," this exoskeleton provides up to 80 pounds of dynamic lift assistance, dramatically reducing the strain on a user’s lower back. For instance, lifting a 70-pound load feels as light as 9 to 11 pounds. Additionally, it aids walking, making a 10-mile trek feel more like an 8-mile journey.
The Apogee Ultra is tailored for industries such as construction, baggage handling, and healthcare, where workers face physically demanding tasks and long hours on their feet. By augmenting human labour rather than replacing it, the exoskeleton enhances productivity and reduces workplace injuries. German Bionic reports a 31% reduction in sick leave among users, underscoring its potential to improve worker safety and efficiency.
Advanced AI allows the Apogee Ultra to adapt to individual users’ needs, while extensive data collected from thousands of real-world users has refined its performance. German Bionic ensures the system will stay updated with over-the-air improvements. While pricing details remain undisclosed, the Apogee Ultra is now available on the company’s website, signalling a new era in wearable robotic technology.
