Revolutionizing Human Mobility with Hypershell Halo: The All-Terrain Exoskeleton
In an exciting reveal at IFA 2026, Hypershell, a market leader in consumer exoskeletons, showcased its flagship product, the Hypershell Halo™. This full-leg exoskeleton is engineered to facilitate mobility across diverse terrains. The unique aspect of Halo lies in its innovative ‘Hypershell Unified Architecture’, which integrates cutting-edge components such as the HyperIntuition™ 2.0 AI movement control system and a new four-motor framework known as HyperDrive Pro. This design establishes Halo as the first exoskeleton capable of coordinating four powered hip and knee joints into a unified system, providing unparalleled support and protection regardless of the movement environment.
Kelvin Sun, CEO of Hypershell, emphasized that Halo represents a complete reimagination of the exoskeletal design for consumers. Unlike traditional models that simply attach motorized parts to existing structures, Halo has been meticulously crafted from the ground up. This re-engineered architecture allows for natural movement, significantly extending the range and capabilities of individuals, enabling them to traverse various types of environments with ease.
One of the crowning features of Halo is its exclusive Hypershell Unified Architecture, a robust structure composed of carbon fiber that spans the hip, thigh, knee, and calf, allowing for a direct transmission of force. This architecture means that the four motorized joints can operate collectively as a well-coordinated system, managing propulsion, weight relief, descent control, and landing comfort. A hallmark of Halo’s design is its ‘Fish-Spine Adaptive Joint’, which connects the hip motor with a lever on the leg, enabling the structure to adjust fluidly to the natural movement of the hips instead of being constrained by a rigid mechanical axis. With an impressive lateral movement range of up to 198° and a fore-and-aft movement capability of 167°, users can enjoy smooth, multidirectional mobility even in awkward postures.
The Unified Architecture also includes the AeroFlex-V thigh strap, which conforms to the changing contours of the user’s body. By replacing traditional stiff padding, it allows for a natural redistribution of pressure and impact while standing, sitting, squatting, or moving over rugged landscapes, thereby enhancing comfort without compromising stability.
The advanced movement control algorithm, HyperIntuition™ 2.0, sets a new standard in exoskeleton technology. It goes beyond standard rule-based controls by employing an innovative Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) architecture. This system utilizes multiple specialized neural networks working in tandem to respond intuitively to changing movements, terrain, and loads, providing decision support that is instantaneously distributed to all four motorized joints.
Equipped with over 30 precise sensors through the HyperSense Pro system, Halo constantly monitors the movements of the lower body. The HyperCore Pro AI chip processes this data in real time, allowing HyperIntuition™ 2.0 to anticipate movement intentions up to 200 milliseconds ahead, adjusting the support up to 2,500 times per second. This responsiveness enables Halo to follow the user's movements with virtually no latency, allowing for seamless transitions between different motions without the need for the user to switch modes.
Through reinforcement learning techniques embedded in HyperIntuition™, the support system of Halo customizes itself over time to the unique gait, strength, and preferences of each user. Rather than requiring users to adapt to the exoskeleton, Halo intelligently adjusts to accommodate individual needs, delivering personalized support that enhances the user experience.
The brand-new HyperDrive Pro four-motor system in Halo delivers up to 1,490 watts of peak performance for the entire leg. This system provides robust power while maintaining an impressively low weight. The motors have been re-engineered for weight reduction, bringing the weight of each knee drive unit down to just 170g. The magnesium alloy housing contributes further by minimizing the overall mass of the exoskeleton.
This power output allows Halo to provide active knee protection in conjunction with its Unified Architecture. The motorized hips and knees collaboratively distribute the extension, load, and braking forces during strenuous activities, reducing fatigue in the knee muscles by up to 40% during squats while assisting with lift-off and cushioning impacts during terrain transitions.
The newly designed Hypershell PocketVolt battery weighs just 370g and offers an impressive range of up to 20 kilometers in a compact, removable design. Quick swaps are facilitated, allowing the battery to be worn at the waist or carried in a backpack, supporting all-day hiking without burdening the exoskeleton’s frame.
At a weight of only 2.6kg, Halo offers comprehensive leg support in a design that prioritizes all-day comfort. Its aerospace-grade carbon fiber and titanium construction balances the durability needed for high-impact movements and challenging terrains with the lightweight properties essential for long-term wearability.
Developed for outdoor use, Halo is designed to be portable yet dependable. It collapses to less than 8 liters, fitting effortlessly into a backpack. Compatible with packs up to 85 liters, including robust mountaineering bags, users can carry Halo without compromising the essential carrying capacity needed for long hikes or challenging adventures. Halo also meets IP54 standards for protection against dust and splashes, ensuring reliable performance in varied weather conditions.
An innovative five-buckle system simplifies adjustments compared to traditional systems worn entirely on the leg. With its infinitely adjustable features and QuickFit levers, users can achieve a precise, first-time fit. Once set, Halo can be put on in about 20 seconds and removed in just five seconds.
Additionally, Halo comes with Shelly, the first AI assistant tailored specifically for consumer exoskeletons. Users can chat or message Shelly to set up the device, personalize support, and plan routes, with Shelly progressively learning their movement habits and preferences to provide increasingly intuitive support over time.
The first 200 units of Halo will be released as the ‘Origin Edition’, each featuring exclusive branding, a unique serial number, and additional benefits. The Origin Edition is available for pre-order starting now at a price of €2,299. Initial availability includes the United States, Canada, Europe, and the United Kingdom. The official sales launch and staggered deliveries will begin in November, with further market rollout details to be shared shortly before availability.
