exoIQ GmbH
About us
exoIQ GmbH was founded in Hamburg in 2017 and develops intelligently designed exoskeleton support systems for industrial workplaces. Its origins lie in a university research project at Helmut Schmidt University, which has been conducting intensive research on exoskeletons since 2014. Since autumn 2023, exoIQ's first product has been on the market: the S700 active shoulder exoskeleton. It is the world's first active exoskeleton designed for professional use, specifically relieving strain on the arm, neck, and shoulder muscles. The S700 can be adjusted without tools to different body sizes and shapes and offers several support modes for various tasks. With up to 15 kg of active support force, it is particularly suitable for assembly and handling work at chest/shoulder height or overhead. Since 2026, the B900 electric back exoskeleton has complemented the product portfolio. It provides targeted relief to the lower back and combines high support with unrestricted freedom of movement. The B900 offers up to 30 kg of support, features powerful motors and an innovative joint system, and enables natural movement patterns – ideal for activities such as lifting, carrying, or working in a bent-over position. All exoIQ products are developed and manufactured in Germany, including at the production site in Illertissen, Bavaria. exoIQ's mission is to support and empower people in industrial workplaces and protect them from physical injuries – thus shaping a sustainable and positive future for work.

Active Shoulder Exoskeleton S700
The S700 active shoulder exoskeleton reduces strain and fatigue when working overhead or at chest height: it provides pneumatic support with up to 15 kg of additional force, thereby noticeably and demonstrably relieving the neck and shoulder muscles. Employees can individually adjust the strength and type of support. They can put it on and take it off in seconds. A pause mode also enables secondary activities. This allows the S700 to be effectively integrated into existing work processes. The S700 is available for €3,500 (excl. VAT plus shipping), was developed in Hamburg and is produced in southern Germany.
Active Shoulder Exoskeleton B900
Active back exoskeleton B900 - noticeable relief, maximum freedom of movement. The back exoskeleton B900 reduces physical strain and fatigue when working in a forward-leaning position and when lifting and carrying. Thanks to powerful motors, the exoskeleton provides support of up to 30 kg and provides targeted relief for the lower back muscles and intervertebral discs. Thanks to preset support modes, the power can be flexibly adapted to individual requirements and work processes. The B900 back exoskeleton impresses with its quick donning and doffing in just a few seconds and unique freedom of movement - whether walking, squatting or performing complex full-body movements. The patented mechanism enables natural movement sequences and integrates seamlessly into existing processes. The B900 back exoskeleton is available for €6,900 excluding VAT.
