What if your wearable technology could do more than count your steps? What if it could actually help power them?
That’s the idea behind Hypershell, a wearable technology brand creating motorized exoskeletons designed to assist your movement. Rather than simply tracking how far you walk or how active you are, a Hypershell exoskeleton uses powered assistance to help reduce the physical effort required to move.
From warehouse floors and long shifts on your feet to hiking trails, steep climbs, and everyday walks, Hypershell’s wearable exoskeletons are designed to provide additional support while you continue moving under your own power.
And this technology is no longer limited to research labs or futuristic prototypes. Hypershell wearable exoskeletons are now available at Best Buy Canada.
What is Hypershell?
Hypershell develops wearable exoskeletons that use motors, sensors, intelligent movement algorithms, and a wearable frame to provide powered assistance to your legs.
An exoskeleton is designed to augment human movement. The device works alongside your natural movement, helping provide additional power when you encounter challenging terrain, carry a load, walk for extended periods, or perform physically demanding activities.
If you’re new to the concept, learn more about what a wearable exoskeleton means for everyday mobility.
Hypershell’s approach combines this physical assistance with AI-powered motion intelligence. The result is a wearable device designed to recognize how you’re moving and adjust its assistance accordingly.
How does a Hypershell exoskeleton work?
A Hypershell exoskeleton is worn around your waist and legs. Built-in motors provide additional power as you walk, climb, run, or navigate different terrain. The technology is designed to respond to your movement rather than requiring you to manually control the motor assistance every time conditions change.
The Hypershell X Ultra, for example, uses HyperIntuition™, the brand’s AI-powered motion intelligence system. It combines multi-sensor perception, AI-based decision-making, and motion control to analyse movement patterns and automatically adjust assistance to match the wearer’s movement. Hypershell’s supplied product information says HyperIntuition™ can respond in as little as 0.31 seconds and achieve a gait synchronization rate of 97.5%.
That means the technology is designed to feel less like operating a machine and more like having an additional source of power working with your natural movement.
Key features of Hypershell exoskeletons
AI-powered motion intelligence
One of the defining features of Hypershell’s technology is its ability to adapt assistance to movement.
The brand’s HyperIntuition™ system continuously analyses movement patterns and adjusts assistance as conditions change. Instead of requiring users to constantly change settings, the system is designed to provide the appropriate level of support for different movements and terrain. For example, if you’re walking on a steep hillside, the Hypershell exoskeleton can increase it’s power to help you walk up easily and reduce leg fatigue.
Powered assistance for challenging movement
Hypershell exoskeletons use electric motors to provide additional power when movement demands more effort. The X Ultra has a 1,000W peak-output motor, while the X Pro and X Carbon each provide up to 800W.
This added power is designed for activities such as steep climbs, long periods on your feet, load carrying, stairs, hiking, and rugged terrain. Hypershell states that the X Ultra can reduce physical exertion by up to 39%, while the X Pro and X Carbon can reduce it by up to 30%.
The actual experience varies depending on the wearer, activity, terrain, and selected mode.
Multiple intelligent modes
Different activities require different types of assistance. Hypershell provides multiple intelligent modes designed around specific types of movement.
Depending on the model, modes include:
- Walking
- Speed walking
- Uphill
- Downhill
- Up stairs
- Down stairs
- Running
- Cycling
- Gravel
- Mountain terrain
- Snow
- Dune terrain
The X Ultra has 12 intelligent modes, while the X Pro and X Carbon each have 10. There are also four operation modes across these models: Transparent, Eco, Hyper, and Fitness.
Lightweight, wearable designs
An exoskeleton needs to provide meaningful assistance without becoming a burden of its own.
Hypershell uses lightweight materials and ergonomic designs to keep its exoskeletons portable. The X Ultra weighs 1.8 kg excluding the battery and combines carbon fibre with titanium alloy. The X Carbon also weighs 1.8 kg excluding the battery, while the X Pro weighs 2 kg excluding the battery.
The supplied Hypershell information also highlights ergonomic waist and leg support, cushioning, and breathable leg straps for longer wear.
Built for indoor and outdoor environments
Hypershell exoskeletons aren’t designed for just one type of activity. The X Pro and X Carbon have an IP54 dust- and water-resistant rating and are designed to operate from -20°C to 60°C.
That makes them suitable for a range of environments, from indoor workspaces and warehouses to urban walks and outdoor trails.
Portable and easy to take with you
The X Pro has a foldable design and weighs 2 kg excluding its battery. The supplied Hypershell materials also highlight quick fitting and a compact foldable design, with the device folding down to approximately the size of a 15-inch laptop.
The X Pro, X Ultra, and X Carbon each include two batteries, a 65W charger, USB-C cable, carrying case, warranty card, and user manual.
