Ascentiz Introduces the Revolutionary Modular Exoskeleton at CES 2026

Ascentiz Unveils a New Era in Wearable Augmentation

At the recently concluded CES 2026, Ascentiz made waves by debuting what it claims to be the world’s first modular exoskeleton. The system, featuring the Ascentiz-H and Ascentiz-K modules, signifies a major leap in the field of wearable technology.

The idea behind this innovative product originates from a challenge faced by co-founder Feng Sha in the perilous 'Death Zone' while mountaineering. Driven by personal experiences, Ascentiz aims to offer solutions that can empower people by expanding their physical capabilities in a user-friendly manner.

Breaking Records and Setting Standards

Before its grand unveiling, the Ascentiz project achieved significant success on Kickstarter in November 2025, becoming the most-funded exoskeleton project and ranking within the top ten of all time in the wearable technology category. This backing highlights a rising demand for technologies that augment human capabilities while ensuring accessibility for everyday users.

The modular structure of Ascentiz allows individuals to customize support based on their specific activities, whether it be daily tasks, outdoor adventures, or professional endurance challenges. This functionality is embedded in a compact design, comparable in size to an A4 sheet of paper.

Engineering Innovation

Each module serves a targeted biomechanical purpose. The Ascentiz-H utilizes an advanced high-torque quasi-direct-drive system designed specifically for hip support, while the Ascentiz-K employs a sophisticated cable-drive mechanism to assist the knee. Both are engineered with the intent of augmenting human movement and enhancing comfort.

Central to the Ascentiz system is its AI motion engine, which intelligently recognizes over seven different activity scenarios with an impressive accuracy rate of 99.5%. This feature enables the exoskeleton to transition between support modes in less than 200 milliseconds. Users can select from three operational modes: EASE for reduced metabolic cost, ACC for increased speed, and TRAIN for resistance training.

Market Accessibility

The retail pricing for the Ascentiz modular system ranges from $1,499 to $3,399, making it a potentially valuable investment for those looking to enhance their physical capabilities without compromising on quality or functionality.

A Vision for the Future

Founded in 2023, Ascentiz aspires to bridge advanced robotics and everyday usability. Their mission is clear: to enable people to overcome physical challenges and broaden their horizons in both mundane and adventurous contexts. The company envisions creating lightweight yet powerful interfaces that integrate seamlessly into a user’s lifestyle, promoting empowerment through technology without overwhelming complexity.

Ascentiz's commitment to innovation and user-centric design signifies a promising future for exoskeleton technology, with potential applications spanning various sectors, from personal fitness to rehabilitation and occupational support.
