TL;DR:<\/strong>Hypershell<\/a> is debuting Halo, a flagship full-leg exoskeleton, at IFA 2026 in Berlin on Sept. 3. It uses a four-motor system that powers the hip and knee joints together, expanding on the company’s hip-only exoskeletons.<\/p>\n

Robot legs are getting an upgrade. Hypershell<\/a> is unveiling the Hypershell Halo, its flagship full-leg exoskeleton, at its keynote at IFA 2026 in Berlin on Sept. 3. It’s the company’s biggest step yet toward expanding what wearable tech can do for how people move \u2014 building on the hip-only exoskeletons it’s built its name on.<\/p>\n

Hypershell’s existing exoskeletons work by strapping motors to your hips to assist your stride. Mashable put Hypershell’s X Series to the test on real trails<\/a>, and it held up: the AI<\/a>-driven motion system adapts to your stride in real-time, giving a noticeable push on inclines that felt more like a tailwind than a shove. <\/p>\n

With around 800W of peak output, it steadied climbs and uneven terrain, and our reviewer backed up Hypershell’s claims of 40% more leg strength and 30% less effort \u2014 resulting in less fatigue, less soreness, and more distance covered. Battery held up too: over 10 miles per charge, with a 35-minute top-up getting it back to 50%.<\/p>\n

Halo takes that hip-only setup and expands it: it’s built around what the company calls a unified architecture that coordinates four powered joints \u2014 covering both the hips and knees \u2014 into a single connected system, rather than assisting just one joint. Hypershell says that setup extends powered assistance across the entire lower limb, allowing Halo to support a wider range of movement over changing terrain than its earlier models.<\/p>\n

Hypershell<\/a> will showcase Halo and the X Series at Booth 119, Hall 12, at IFA, running through Sept. 8 in Berlin.<\/p>\n
