Overview

EVO is an upper-body passive exoskeleton vest designed to reduce strain on the arms, shoulders, and neck muscles during heavy lifting and overhead tasks in construction and industrial settings. It is lightweight with minimal touch points to keep workers cool while providing ergonomic support. The device augments the user's strength by redirecting forces through the suit, decreasing fatigue and load to the spine.

Flagship features

  • Passive mechanical exoskeleton (no battery or motors)
  • Targeted at overhead work: reduces strain on arms, shoulders, and neck
  • Lightweight design with minimal touch points for worker comfort
  • Patented force-sensing technology for assist adjustment
  • Listed among 'best exoskeletons on the market' for construction
  • Developed by Ekso Bionics, a leading exoskeleton manufacturer with medical and industrial product lines
