Description

EXOHEAD is an overhead-arm support exoskeleton from Cyber Human Systems (a spin-off of Gogoa Mobility Robots). It is designed for workers performing elevated-arm tasks in industrial settings. According to the manufacturer, it complements arm-raising from front to overhead positions and helps maintain static above-head postures while relieving stress on the back, shoulders, and arms.

It is an unpowered (passive) exoskeleton built around variable-deformation elastomers and intelligent textiles that act as artificial muscles. Stated features include adjustable assistance for each arm from 2 to 4.5 kg (4.4 to 9.9 lb), total device weight of 2.5 kg (5.5 lb), easy maintenance, and fit for different sizes.

Application: Industrial overhead work; repetitive elevated-arm tasks; static above-head holding tasks with manufacturer-reported performance figures of up to 60% reduction in effort in the arms and shoulders, depending on the task, and 20% reduction in metabolic consumption/cost.
