Last week, in wearable physical augmentation technology: adding pockets to exosuits, new rehabilitation journal on the horizon, more signs of growing interest in exoskeleton technology in China, new regulatory approvals, crowdfuning efforts, students unvail their new prototype to the public, social media goes viral for new military exo concept and much more below:

Exoskeleton Report – Week 30 Highlights (July 24, 2025)

A new episode of the Exoskeletons and Wearable Robotics Podcast dives into STEM outreach: host Bobby Marinov and co-host Prof. Tom Sugar speak with Auxivo’s founder about EduExo and EduExo Pro, low-cost kits that let students build and program real exoskeleton hardware.

Industrial & Trade-Show News

• HeroWear now bundles a dedicated user pocket with every Apex 2 back-assist suit ordered after 21 July 2025, no extra charge.

• WearRAcon Europe confirms that 16 exoskeleton makers will share the 2025 A+A Trade Fair “Exo Park,” with exhibition space still available to late entrants.

Medical & Rehabilitation Updates
