The Exoskeleton Report newsletter highlighted Biomechanics Day 2025, a global initiative to inspire high school students to pursue biomechanics, and announced the call for abstracts for WearRAcon Europe at A+A 2025. In industrial news, studies showed that the LiftSuit passive back exosuit reduced muscle load and pain in workers with mild back issues, while the NekSpine support system helped ease surgeons’ neck strain. The medical section explored a new balance control method that could improve gait-assist exoskeleton balance, and LifeWard’s ReWalk 7 was introduced with faster, app-linked mobility. Additionally, a preference-based optimization trial allowed users to adjust lifting and lowering assistance levels on a soft back exosuit.
On the business front, German Bionic partnered with KULR for the North American rollout of the Apogee ULTRA, while a U.S. executive order aimed to accelerate defense tech acquisition and Innophys entered NATO-Japan dialogue on dual-use wearables. Marsi Bionics won top honors at SERI 2025 for their pediatric study, job openings were listed, and readers were encouraged to support ExR on Patreon.
The newsletter thanked its supporters, including Humotech, Auxivo, HeroWear, and Digity, and encouraged readers to subscribe for optimized content in their inbox.
