Hypershell Halo: A Revolution in Mobility
In a bold move to redefine personal mobility, Hypershell has unveiled its flagship product, the Halo™ exoskeleton, at the IFA 2026 in Berlin. Designed to cover the entire leg, this innovative exoskeleton is engineered for all-terrain mobility, blending cutting-edge technology with practical usability.
Unified Architecture and Intelligent Control
The Halo exoskeleton stands out due to its unique Hypershell architecture that allows seamless integration of movement across four motorized joints—hips and knees—creating a coordinated system for enhanced support and protection. The incorporation of the HyperIntuition™ 2.0 motion control system ensures that users experience natural movements regardless of the terrain, allowing them to push beyond their physical limits freely.
Kelvin Sun, CEO of Hypershell, expressed the vision behind the Halo: "It’s not just a matter of adding motorized knees to an existing hip structure. We’ve reinvented the architecture and smart components for the entire lower body to ensure that the motorized joints work in harmony with the user's movements."
Features for Enhanced Mobility
The Halo is designed with a continuous carbon fiber load-bearing structure, which transfers forces directly from the hip down to the calves. The innovative "Fish-Spine" adaptive joint connects the hip motor to the leg lever, accommodating the natural motion of the user rather than sticking to a fixed mechanical axis. With lateral movement capabilities of up to 198 degrees and 167 degrees of forward-backward motion, users can navigate challenging terrains fluidly.
Additionally, the AeroFlex V thigh straps provide a snug fit around the body’s contours, redistributing pressure to increase comfort without sacrificing stability during various activities, whether standing, sitting, or moving over rugged land.
The Power Behind Halo
Equipped with the new HyperDrive Pro, the Halo bunds together the power of four motors, delivering peak performance up to 1,490 watts across the entire leg. The design of the motor system emphasizes lightweight construction; each knee motor weighs only 170 g, complemented by a magnesium alloy housing that further reduces mass.
This potent combination not only enhances user mobility but also actively protects the knees during strenuous activities. The coordinated action between hip and knee motors helps distribute loads during intense movement, alleviating knee muscle fatigue by up to 40% during squats and assisting with lifts during inclines.
Compact, User-Friendly Design
Weighing in at just 2.6 kg, the Halo is lightweight enough for all-day wear. Its aerospace-quality carbon fiber and titanium construction provide both robustness for adverse environments and the necessary low weight to keep the device discreet. The exoskeleton is designed for outdoor adventures, folding down to under 8 liters in volume, easily fitting into a backpack.
AI Integration with Shelly
A standout feature of the Halo is Shelly, the industry's first AI assistant for consumer exoskeletons. Users can interact with Shelly via voice or text to customize settings, plan routes, and monitor performance. As it learns the user’s habits, Shelly becomes increasingly intuitive, providing tailored assistance unique to each individual's needs.
Availability and Pricing
The first 200 units, branded as the "Origin Edition," are available for pre-order starting at €2,299, including exclusive benefits. The initial release encompasses markets in the United States, Canada, Europe, the UK, and China, with official sales and staggered deliveries beginning in November.
Hypershell operates across over 70 countries, striving for a future where everyone can move freely and explore without boundaries. Halo represents a significant leap toward this vision, encouraging users to embrace their mobility.
Closing Thoughts
As Hypershell continues to evolve in the realm of personal mobility technologies, the Halo is a testament to innovation tailored for real-world use. With advanced features catering to various terrains, this exoskeleton promises a new era in mobility, where the limitations of physicality are challenged and redefined.
