It uses a four-motor system that powers the hip and knee joints together, expanding on the company's hip-only exoskeletons.

Robot legs are getting an upgrade.

It's the company's biggest step yet toward expanding what wearable tech can do for how people move — building on the hip-only exoskeletons it's built its name on.

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 , and it held up: the AI -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.

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 — 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%.

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 — covering both the hips and knees — 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.

Hypershell will showcase Halo and the X Series at Booth 119, Hall 12, at IFA, running through Sept.
