Making this possible is the German Bionic OS operating system, which connects the power suits to the cloud. The Augsburg-based robotics company is thus the world's first exoskeleton provider to develop its own operating system to full market maturity, specifically for wearable robots. "We know from our customers and partners in the logistics area that exoskeletons are significantly more flexible than any other existing tool when it comes to manual handling. To make the power suits even smarter and therefore even more adaptable for all employees and the workplace, we connect them via our cloud to Smart Factory interfaces. By means of 'over-the-air' software updates, we can modify the exoskeleton and thereby enable new use cases," explains Norma Steller, Head of IoT at German Bionic.
